Rail finance and rolling stock supply

Rail

“One of the market leaders for rolling stock issues” Chambers & Partners 2009

Governments, regulators, manufacturers, lessors, train operating companies and rail financiers rely on our powerful combination of asset finance and rail sector strength.

Our award-winning global rail finance team works as an integrated practice unit and advises on the supply and financing of locomotives and freight and passenger rolling stock around the world. Our global spread keeps us aware of developments and our experience allows us to stay innovative. Our aim is to ensure that our clients achieve their commercial objectives.

We have acted on most of all the major new rolling stock orders placed in the UK since the privatisation of British Rail, and have unrivalled experience negotiating rolling stock supply contracts, maintenance agreements and other associated contracts. We advise on the financing, sale and purchase, leasing and refurbishment of freight and passenger rolling stock and locomotives. We understand performance regimes, maintenance reserves and the taxation issues relevant to such financing activity. We have the resources and ability to handle the most complex transactions, whether single jurisdiction or cross-border.
