Asset finance and leasing come with complex judgements about business needs, accounting and tax issues and a whole host of legal issues.
Against a dynamic regulatory background, we advise on all aspects of credit, asset finance and leasing, financial compliance, regulation and related litigation. And with a deep understanding of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules we have particular expertise in title investigations and fraud recovery work often with cross-border issues.
