Asset financing clients

Our team of lawyers are on-hand to assist lenders, borrowers and commercial clients on a broad range of transactional and non-contentious finance work. Bringing a deep knowledge of the technical area of asset finance structures, our asset finance lawyers regularly advise on effective finance structures and provide overarching guidance to a wide range of clients. From banks and financiers to business owners and entrepreneurs, we seek to ensure that clients entering into asset finance contracts as a lender or borrower receive the best results possible.

The advice provided by our team spans borders and sectors, with many recipients of our asset finance advice coming from financial institutions and companies in the manufacturing and transport industries. Not only has this allowed us the opportunity to develop extensive experience across a range of industries but it has also given our asset finance lawyers an in-depth understanding of the relevant industry standard documents and structures used. 

In addition to our general asset finance team, we also have one of the largest dedicated rail teams in the UK who regularly advise on rolling stock leasing transactions.
