Renowned attorney David Paterson, specializing in global transportation finance, aligns with Vedder Price's expanding Singapore office.
💫 Announcing Our New Power Player in Transportation Finance 💫
Hey there! Exciting news just dropped from Vedder Price, folks. They've snagged David Paterson as their newest partner in the ever-growing Global Transportation Finance team, stationed in their spiffy Singapore office.
David, boasting more than a decade-and-a-half of experience under his belt, is all set to tackle complex, high-value cross-border financing, leasing, trading, and structured transactions. You guessed it—all revolving around aircraft, vessels, and other transportation assets.
Geoff Kass, chair of the Global Transportation Finance team, had this to say: "David's global transport know-how is a game-changer, and we're stoked to have him aboard. Boosting our Singapore team with him on deck means we can better attend to our clients' needs without missing a beat."
Here's the lowdown on David's practice. He's all about acting in the best interests of financiers, equity investors, leasing companies, operators, and export credit agencies, mainly when it comes to aircraft-backed international finance and leasing transactions. And if that's not impressive enough—he's also got a knack for advising on asset acquisitions and disposals.
Before swimming the Vedder waters, David spent six years at Clifford Chance LLP in the always-electrifying London scene and another shiny three years splitting his time between the London and Singapore offices of Milbank LLP. As a cherry on top, he bagged himself a Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of the West of England and an undergraduate degree from the University of Warwick.
Now, while the search results didn't spill the beans on any specific achievements, awards, or telling transactions, it's safe to assume that his political career gave him a fair share of experiences in shaping vital transportation policies and budgets. And judging by the prestigious title of "Rising Star" bestowed upon him by Airfinance Journal and The Legal 500 Asia Pacific 2024, we're betting he's got some serious talent up his sleeve.
So there you have it—welcome aboard, David! We can't wait to see what you bring to the Vedder Price table! 🥂🌟
In the expanding realm of global business, David Paterson's appointment as a partner in Vedder Price's Transportation Finance team marks a significant stride in the finance and transportation industry. With his wealth of experience and expertise in complex cross-border financing and leasing transactions, David is poised to fortify careers in this sector.
