Banking and asset finance.
Position
Neil is a finance partner. He focuses on ship finance and trade finance, with a number of niche areas which has given him a breadth of knowledge and experience. He is equally at home in a large tax driven and structured leasing transaction, as in a super yacht acquisition and financing or in a structured pre-export financing. He believes the variety and breadth of his work makes him a more rounded lawyer and so able to more easily adapt to new or unusual issues and problems. Recent deals that Neil has worked on include restructuring of several large and complex tax-based leasing structures, financing of a portfolio of leased ship containers, work out of a multi vessel debt financing, advising and documenting an operating and finance lease structure for a newbuild drillship together with structuring of debt funding, negotiation of several building contracts for two 100m and two 120m plus mega-yachts, debt funding of several super yachts, and short-term financing of vessels for demolition. Additionally, Neil has acted on a number of non-asset based financings for banks lending to corporates in a variety of jurisdictions and for a variety of purposes.
