Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP is investigating Willis Lease Finance Corporation's board and controlling shareholder Charles F. Willis, IV for potentially excessive compensation practices. Willis, who owns about 40% of the company, received increasing compensation from $6.2 million in 2022 to $14.2 million in 2025, including large stock awards and options. The investigation focuses on whether these payments breach fiduciary duties to shareholders. Current shareholders are encouraged to contact the law firm for possible legal action.
