Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has been named 'Asset Finance Legal Provider of the Year' at the 2019 Leasing Life Awards.

The awards, presented at a ceremony in Barcelona, Spain, celebrate and honour senior leaders in the European leasing industry. The asset finance team was recognised for the strength and depth of its experience, which covers the full spectrum of such work including rail, ship and aviation finance, as well as other forms of asset based lending.

Judges commended Stephenson Harwood for being a “stand out ‘all round’ firm supporting every area of the asset finance industry and covering capability from small ticket to major international transactions”. They noted that the firm’s “focus on people development is… the basis of [its] reputation in the market”.

The award is further evidence of the calibre of the team, and of the market-leading mandates on which it is instructed.
