We have once again been ranked among the world's top 10 aviation finance law firms in the 2026 Airfinance Global Legal Survey, marking the fifth consecutive year that our global Asset Finance practice has been recognised among the industry's leading legal advisers.  

The survey is widely regarded as one of the aviation finance sector's most respected benchmarks, assessing the work of law firms advising on aviation finance transactions worldwide. 
 
Our continued inclusion in the global top 10 reflects the depth of our global Asset Finance practice and our role advising clients on innovative and market leading transactions across the sector. Working across key international markets, we advise airlines, lessors, financial institutions, investors and service providers on a broad range of cross-border matters, including aircraft financings, leasing transactions, portfolio acquisitions, restructurings and capital markets deals.  
 
The ranking follows another strong year for our Global Asset Finance team. Earlier this year, transactions on which we advised were recognised at the Airline Economics Aviation 100 Global Leaders Awards, highlighting our involvement in notable deals across the aviation sector. 

London-based partner Donna Ager said: 'Being recognised among the world's top 10 aviation finance law firms for the fifth consecutive year reflects the strength and consistency of our global Asset Finance practice, as well as the trust our clients place in us.'  

Cayman partner Sarah Humpleby added 'This recognition is a testament to the collaborative approach of our global team across jurisdictions and our continued focus on delivering practical, commercially focused advice on complex transactions across the aviation industry.'
