Richard Oman – Addleshaw Goddard

The practice at Addleshaw Goddard has a strong reputation for its ability to assist clients across the full scope of complex and high-stakes banking and finance matters. The team is headed up by Manchester-based expert Martin O’Shea, who is noted for ‘leading the team from the front’. The group is well-versed in handling high-profile transactions in the region; Richard Oman is particularly experienced in this regard, a key example being his work for HSBC on the cross-border £250m refinancing of a bond facility. Katie Ridehalgh is also particularly noteworthy for her work advising nationally recognised key banks and investors. Notably, the ‘resilient’ Ben Edwards, who focuses on leveraged acquisition finance and corporate banking, and asset finance specialist Elizabeth Wareing were both promoted to the partnership in September 2022. Wareing supports Andrew Maskill, who leads the asset finance practice within the team. Legal director Sarah Jay stands out for her work advising clients on tech-led major change projects, and Lauren Priest-Stephens handles asset-backed lending work.
