How we can help

Multi-disciplinary team

Our dedicated transportation finance practice works closely with our tax experts. Together we offer an integrated solution, tailored to the individual needs of our clients. Our understanding of the industry, integrated practice, and dedicated teams allow us to make a substantial difference in the market.

Contacts with authorities

Our well-established contacts with the various authorities enable us to stay on top of the latest developments and trends. As active members of the maritime and railway industry bodies, we also participate and contribute to local legal and tax developments, advise authorities, and assist our peers with queries regarding rolling stock and vessels.

Tailor-made and innovative approaches

“Tailor-made” is a key word in the transportation industry in our home markets in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Various national and cross-border financing and structuring solutions exist e.g., bank lending, bond issuances, securitisations, joint venture structures and regulated or unregulated investment funds structures. The choice depends on your specific needs.

Financing solutions are multiplying and the legal implications relating to financial products are becoming more complex.
We offer integrated services, in collaboration with both our attorneys-at-law and civil-law notaries.

Strong in ship finance

Our ship finance practice has a long history and impressive track record. It is viewed by others in the industry as one of the strongest of its kind. We assist banks, ship-owners, and operators with the financing of a variety of vessels. Thanks to our involvement in many different finance and lease transactions, we are well positioned to offer tailor-made solutions.

Innovative in rail finance

Financing trains can be a complex exercise due to the lack of common security rules in the various jurisdictions concerned. We have set up several structures where we tackled cross-border security issues and achieved innovative and successful solutions. We are often approached by rail authorities or our peers to assist with queries regarding rolling stock and are active in the Rail Working Group which seeks to implement international security rights.
