Asset Finance

Our asset finance practice offers clients expert advice on the purchasing, financing, and leasing of assets and equipment.

We advise on the full spectrum of financing options, including receivables assignments and factoring, finance leases, operating leases, principal and agency arrangements, third-party debtor arrangements, and other risk transfer programmes (on both a full and a non-recourse basis).

This has involved us advising on funding options for all major asset classes, including the financing and leasing of aircraft, rolling stock, ships, information technology assets, and motor vehicle fleets.

Our specialists work closely with our tax experts to ensure that the arrangements are tax-efficient.
