Asset Finance
About the Group
We have particular expertise in asset and structured finance and are regularly involved in large, medium and small ticket financings of assets such as aircraft, helicopters, ships, rolling stock, office equipment and technology.
We act for a number of the international aircraft and aircraft engine leasing companies as well as a number of the domestic equipment lessors. In addition, we advise both domestic and foreign asset financing banks and equipment lessors in relation to the financing and leasing of both domestic and foreign based assets. We regularly act as Irish counsel in complex cross border asset financings which are supported by the European Credit Agencies and US Export-Import Bank. We also act for a number of domestic and foreign airlines. Please visit our Aviation Finance page.
