Milbank

Praised for its ‘depth of specialist aircraft leasing and finance experience’, Milbank advises on a broad spectrum of matters, including debt and lease financings, sale and leasebacks, portfolio acquisitions and disposals, and structured financings for commercial and corporate aircraft. The team offers expertise to lenders, lessors, borrowers, airlines, and investors in security enforcement, repossessions, distressed debt, and restructuring. Following James Cameron’s recent departure, Nick Swinburne now leads the transportation and space practice, overseeing aircraft, satellite, and asset-backed transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, restructurings, and repossessions. Swinburne is supported by Andy McAdam, who advises on structured and novel aircraft and asset-backed deals, and the ‘outstanding’ Harriet Rugg-Easey, who leads on cross-border M&A, distressed debt, and restructuring work for aviation clients.
