Part of a large and well-established international banking practice, our asset finance team of more than 25 lawyers based in ten jurisdictions is dedicated to providing our clients with the highest quality assistance in all aspects of aircraft, rail, vendor and structured real estate finance, as well as other asset financings.
Lovells' asset finance group regularly features in the legal directories as a leading firm in asset finance, particularly aviation. We are praised by our peers and by our clients alike for our dynamic approach and a seamless high quality service. According to Chambers UK 2008, clients agree that we provide “value for money - it is very responsive and we get the partner time we need, something other law firms don’t always provide.”
Robin Hallam, head of the asset finance practice, is described as a “no-nonsense lawyer who focuses on what is important in a transaction and immediately homes in on the key points; he is a process smoother.”
