Transportation: Rail & Aviation Asset Finance - Germany
What the Team is Known For
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer houses one of Germany's leading asset finance practice groups, particularly on the aviation side. Prominent airlines, banks, leasing companies and asset managers mandate the team for its strength in aircraft financing and refinancing, portfolio acquisitions and sale-and-leaseback transactions. The law firm is also particularly recognised for matters involving complex lease arrangements and insolvencies as well as large restructurings. The rail sector constitutes a further area of its expertise, with the team assisting with rail lease transactions and infrastructure investments. With its strength in disputes, the firm complements its excellent offering. Its global office network renders Freshfields a strong candidate for cross-border work.
