Banking and finance
Within Banking and finance,
Headed by Anne Lapierre, a specialist in the renewable field, Norton Rose LLP’s main assets are its large banking client base and its leading asset finance expertise, through key partners Georges Paterson, Martin Gdanski, Christine Ezcutari and Marc Hamilton – shipping finance expert Alain Gautron left the firm to join Stephenson Harwood in 2010. The aviation finance practice is second to none in the market, the team advising Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and Oberbank on the financing of Lufthansa’s first Airbus A380. The firm also deals with acquisition finance work through Erwan Héricotte.
Shipping finance
Within Shipping finance, Stephenson Harwood is a first tier firm,
Norton Rose LLP’s supremacy in the French market suffered a severe blow following the departures of Alain Gautron and tax lease expert Stéphane Salou for Stephenson Harwood. The practice is now led by Christine Ezcutari, assisted by Laurence Toxé on the tax side. Highlights included advising Société Générale on the tax lease financing of six container ships for CMA CGM.
