Structuring and documenting asset finance and leasing transactions have always been complex tasks. When the relevant assets are located across national boundaries and subject to the laws of multiple jurisdictions, some of which are more creditor-friendly than others, the complexity is compounded. Timing and tax efficiency are usually critical factors in closing a transaction.
Hogan Lovells Asset Finance practice is one of the widest of any of the leading international law firms, with more than 50 lawyers based in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia. It is also one of the deepest: our team includes several former general counsels of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, along with experienced lawyers who have been involved in some of the highest profile asset finance transactions in recent years.
We have an unparalleled aviation and aerospace practice, which benefits from our extensive commercial, regulatory and tax practices in these areas.
Our clients represent the full spectrum of the industry, including domestic and international airlines; aircraft leasing and finance companies; aerospace manufacturers; satellite manufacturers and launch service providers; trade associations; aviation service and maintenance companies; and aircraft manufacturers.
We also have extensive experience in financing transactions for other types of equipment, including industrial equipment, telecommunications equipment, healthcare information systems, railroad rolling stock, vessels, mining equipment, and construction equipment.
