Fugard is currently head of the asset finance
practice at Linklaters, and co-head of transport and logistics,
focusing on big-ticket equipment financing, especially in aviation,
shipping and Islamic finance.
Gwynne is also a partner, focusing on asset
finance and structured finance involving aircraft, rolling stock,
telecoms equipment, shipping and other large assets. He was ranked
as the UK’s top rail finance lawyer by Chambers 2010.
They join a team of about 50 lawyers based in
Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia.
David Hudd, co-head of Hogan Lovells’
finance group, said: “We are looking to build on our
existing strength in finance in London and other major
international financial centres.
