Chapman and Cutler LLP attorneys have long enjoyed
a national, and more recently an international, reputation for our
extensive experience in secured and unsecured financing. Such
experience allows the firm to focus exceptional resources in the
specialized area of lease finance. Chapman and Cutler was active
in the early development of leveraged leasing and municipal leasing as
industries, and today our attorneys represent lessees, lessors, lenders
and trustees in all types of leasing transactions, including leveraged
lease financings, cross-border leases, tax-advantaged and
municipal/governmental lease financings, synthetic leases,
credit-tenant leases and a vast variety of lease-related transactions (e.g.,
equipment trust certificates, enhanced equipment trust certificates and
lease portfolio securitizations). Such transactions have involved
countless types of real estate, fixtures and equipment (including
railroad rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, vehicles and mining
equipment), intellectual property, energy and related projects,
telecommunications equipment, rail lines, office buildings,
manufacturing facilities, warehouses, cogeneration facilities and
retail stores. In addition, our leasing attorneys engage in the representation of creditor committees, bondholders, indenture trustees or other creditors facing defaulted leases and other securities, workouts, debt and lease restructurings, exchange offers, refinancings, insolvencies and all stages of related financial litigation. We recognize the need for creativity in structuring lease and related transactions to meet the needs of all participants, and the firm is accustomed to participating in the structuring process. Our goal throughout such transactions is to provide our clients with the best possible legal advice, responsive service and clear and concise documentation in a timely manner. Our leasing expertise and extensive presence in lease finance allow our clients to both create and participate in complex and innovative financing structures. |
