Career
Richard Goss has a comprehensive cross-border asset finance practice with particular emphasis on aviation finance. He represents an array of industry participants including operating lessors, airlines, financial institutions, and manufacturers on a diverse range of multijurisdictional transactions. These include sale and leasebacks, operating leases, portfolio trading, export credit, and PDP financings for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. He has also advised clients in a variety of airline restructurings, insolvencies, and aircraft repossessions.
He brings a solution-focused and pragmatic approach, which reflects more than 15 years of experience in the aviation sector and his position at the heart of the industry. Richard builds deep client relationships and is a trusted advisor to whom clients return time and again for support on their most challenging transactions.
Earlier in his career, Richard spent six months on secondment to Standard Chartered Bank’s aviation finance team based in Dublin, gaining valuable insights from an operating lessor perspective. He is regularly seen at aviation finance conferences and has lectured to the Irish Law Society’s Diploma course in Aviation Finance and Leasing.
Active across a number of pro bono and community activities, Richard put his knowledge and experience in the helicopter sector to charitable use as part of Hogan Lovells’ citizenship activities. He played a key role advising London’s Air Ambulance on a pro bono basis on its acquisition and financing of a second helicopter to provide crucial emergency support for the people of London.

(Next Generation Partners)Led from London by the ‘vastly experienced’ Robert Fugard, and able to leverage significant international resources across the firm’s global network of offices, Hogan Lovells International LLP‘s ‘knowledgeable’ three-partner team’s principal focus remains on aviation work for a varied mix of lenders and borrowers. Mirroring Fugard’s own practice, the scope of the work is wide-ranging, running the gamut from bank and ECA-supported financings, to tax-enhanced mandates and capital markets-related matters, both from a new money as well as a restructuring context. The ‘excellent’ Richard Goss is also a key member of the team, particularly as it pertains to lessor-related work. Outside of the aviation sector, senior consultant Shalini Bhuchar has experience advising on commercial and super yacht financing, while counsel Charles Ford is noted for his rail work.
