Asset Finance
Position
Richard Goss has a comprehensive cross-border asset finance practice with particular emphasis on aviation finance. He represents an array of industry participants including operating lessors, airlines, financial institutions, and manufacturers on a diverse range of multijurisdictional transactions. These include sale and leasebacks, operating leases, portfolio trading, export credit, and PDP financings for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. He has also advised clients in a variety of airline restructurings, insolvencies, and aircraft repossessions.
He brings a solution-focused and pragmatic approach, which reflects more than 15 years of experience in the aviation sector and his position at the heart of the industry. Richard builds deep client relationships and is a trusted advisor to whom clients return time and again for support on their most challenging transactions.
Earlier in his career, Richard spent six months on secondment to Standard Chartered Bank’s aviation finance team based in Dublin, gaining valuable insights from an operating lessor perspective. He is regularly seen at aviation finance conferences and has lectured to the Irish Law Society’s Diploma course in Aviation Finance and Leasing.
Active across a number of pro bono and community activities, Richard put his knowledge and experience in the helicopter sector to charitable use as part of Hogan Lovells’ citizenship activities. He played a key role advising London’s Air Ambulance on a pro bono basis on its acquisition and financing of a second helicopter to provide crucial emergency support for the people of London.

(Leading partners)Deploying a very collaborative approach which leans into the firm’s international network of offices as well as its broader finance competence, in particular, Hogan Lovells International LLP‘s small partner-led team is well-positioned to advise financial institutions, operators and lessors across a range of complex cross-border aviation finance and leasing transactions. Team head Robert Fugard has vast experience in the sector and has, over his many years of fee-earning experience, developed deep knowledge of a variety of debt products which has been beneficial to clients, both on new money deals as well as in a restructuring setting. As well as handling a myriad of financing matters for airlines, Richard Goss has also been very close to a number of lessors, assisting them on everything from new money financings and as creditors on airline restructurings, through to broader transactional work including establishing new leasing platforms and portfolio trading. Outside of the aviation sector, Shalini Bhuchar handles some shipping work for funders and borrowers, as it relates to both commercial vessels and superyachts.
