We advise clients in shipping and offshore marine, aviation, renewables and rail financing and all associated procurement, leasing and operating arrangements.

Services we offer include: syndicated and bilateral bank facilities; capital markets financing; funds formation and investments; equity financing, joint venture and partnership formation; finance, operating and tax-based leasing; concession-based and project financings; sales and purchases; operational management agreements.

In short, whatever the product or asset, you can expect a service tailored to your needs.
