Global Transportation Finance

With over 70 professionals across three continents, our Global Transportation Finance (GTF) team is renowned for its financing acumen across all types of transportation and heavy equipment assets. We represent participants of all types and sizes in the transportation and heavy equipment industries, including owners, leasing companies, lessees, financial institutions, alternative lenders and equity investors. Clients rely on our deep knowledge and understanding of the structural similarities across these industries and the nuances that separate each individual sector.

Our GTF practices Commercial Aviation, Maritime, Rail, Business Aviation and Helicopter Finance and General Equipment—are all prominent in their respective fields. In addition, the cross-disciplinary interaction among them gives the group its unique perspective on emerging trends and market conditions. 

While our four GTF practices are different in many ways, they have in common the financial tools we use to carry out our clients’ transactions. While each industry has its own complexities, they share common financial tools. Our team has long been a pioneer and key participant in the securitization of large assets, including the payment streams of leased transportation and heave equipment assets, which remain a hallmark of our practice. 

Our reach is global. We represent clients in multiple jurisdictions, operating under multiple legal systems. Our clients trust us, not just to structure, negotiate and execute their most important transactions, but also to advise them in insolvency proceedings and when necessary, litigation.
