We were voted "Best Law Firm" in a poll conducted in 2003 by Aircraft Economics Magazine, and our transactions are routinely recognized for their originality and importance by earning "Deal of the Year" awards from industry periodicals. The group has a highly diversified practice and regularly works with the Firm's tax, structured finance, capital markets and bankruptcy attorneys to structure complex and often "first of its kind" transactions.
The group has devised innovative financing structures and techniques which have become standard-bearers for the industry, and has participated in financings for companies throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Our clients represent a true cross-section of the major players in asset financings, including investment banks, manufacturers, export agencies, borrowers, lenders, airlines, equity participants and lessees. Transactions typical of our practice are public and private asset-based securitizations and structured financings, cross-border and export financings, secured lending, leveraged leasing, project financings and bankruptcy workouts and restructurings.
Our clients come to us seeking novel solutions to complex financing problems. By approaching these problems creatively, and working closely with our colleagues throughout the Firm, we have helped our clients make significant contributions to the transportation industries with innovative forms of new financing.
