Tracey Forbes

Overview

I'm Counsel in our Cayman Islands Corporate and Finance practice. I joined our Cayman Islands office in 2012, then worked in our Hong Kong office for 8 years and returned to our Cayman Islands office in 2022.

I advise on a broad spectrum of cross-border transactions, including asset finance (with a particular focus on aviation), acquisition and leveraged finance, fund finance, debt restructurings and general corporate lending.

I have significant expertise in aircraft financing transactions, including helping major financial institutions, lessors and investors on a variety of transactions, such as the financing and leasing of commercial aircraft, corporate jets and other related assets, including engines and helicopters, across a variety of structures. I also advise on repossessions, restructurings and transitional aircraft registrations as well as the finance and leasing of ships and other vessels.

Prior to joining Mourant, I worked at another leading offshore firm in the Cayman Islands. I also spent time in East Africa undertaking pro bono work at legal clinics in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.
