Asset Finance
divider
Asset finance is a rapidly evolving sector and staying up-to-date on the latest finance and leasing structures, tax legislation and regulation isn’t just desirable, it’s essential. These include changes to the Consumer Credit Act and The Competition Commission’s market inquiry into store cards, which is expected to result in recommendations regarding pricing, profitability, APRs and transparency of both store cards and, possibly, other forms of consumer credit.

Osborne Clarke’s Asset finance group combines years of experience with in-depth knowledge of new developments, to help you develop effective, leading-edge asset financing strategies. We offer clients a one-stop-shop service by way of a team that includes some of the country’s best corporate, commercial, litigation and tax lawyers. Acting on both domestic and cross-border transactions, we advise on lease, taxation and security issues, as well as the implementation of finance programmes. We also have extensive experience of syndication arrangements, new product developments and service and maintenance contracts.

This expertise is put to work for you, in a way that suits how you prefer to work. It’s an approach that’s appreciated by our existing clients, including major asset finance, leasing and credit hire institutions. According to Chambers & Partners 2005, we are “a major regional player in the asset finance market. Sources particularly stressed the firm's first-class client roster and its growing breadth of practice.”

Examples of our recent experience include:
  • Neqtar Limited, the wine distributor, on their £30 million refinancing through a combined invoice discounting, capital expenditure, revolving and term facility
  • John Deere Bank S.A. and other institutional clients, on the revised Consumer Credit Act
  • Premier Telecom on their £10 million financing for patient communication and entertainment equipment
