Counting financial institutions, lessors, shipping and energy companies, and government agencies among its key roster of clients, Norton Rose Fulbright maintains an impressive track record in shipping finance matters, in addition to project financing for offshore oil and gas vessels and rigs, sale and leasebacks, M&A, commercial contracts, financial restructurings and insolvencies, and disputes. Ben Rose leads the team and stands out for his expertise in shipping finance transactions, while Sue Ann Gan acts for financial institutions, lessees and owners in both financing and restructuring mandates.
