HFW expands aviation finance offering with trio of new hires

Global law firm HFW has expanded its aviation finance practice with the appointments of Associates Anton Jarbol, Oliver Gordon and Charlotte Henriksen in London.

Their appointment bolsters the firm’s capacity to advise financiers, aircraft owners, lessors and operators on cross-border financing, leasing, regulatory matters and aircraft sale and purchase transactions. 

This is the latest expansion of the firm’s global Aerospace team this year, with HFW also seeing the recent arrival of London aviation litigation Partner Guy Marrison and the launch of the firm’s Swiss aviation offering with the hire of a team led by Partner Laurent Chassot in Geneva.

The team advise clients throughout the industry – including more than 100 airlines around the world – on all aspects of aviation liability, dispute resolution, regulatory, finance and leasing, and corporate aviation.

David Brotherton, Global Head of Aerospace, HFW:

“The continued growth of our global aviation finance offering is a product of strong demand from clients for aviation finance leasing and trading transaction .
