In this episode of “The Deal Makers” podcast, ILF Alumna Hameedat Oyenuga speaks with Dr. Johannes Vogel, partner in the asset finance team at Freshfields in Frankfurt, about the dynamics of cross-border asset finance. They discuss how asset finance differs from traditional corporate lending, the specific risks involved in financing aircraft and other movable assets across jurisdictions, and the growing importance of international frameworks such as the Cape Town Convention. The conversation also explores risk management in emerging markets, pre-delivery payment structures, and how global crises and sanctions regimes are reshaping the legal and commercial landscape of asset-backed transactions.
