Contino+Partners provides legal and business consulting services to major international leasing and financing companies:

  • International Leasing Law: After dissolution of the Soviet Bloc, we supported the Macedonian Government in developing an economic strategy that included designing and creating important new leasing models and laws.
  • Captive Leasing: When a multi-billion computer networking components manufacturer wanted to establish a captive leasing program, we helped design the initiative, troubleshoot issues and establish key processes.
  • Finding New Markets: We helped an international leasing company uncover a profitable new leasing market and then established and ran the joint-venture operation.
  • Leveraging Tax Benefits: When a major leasing company was unable to use its tax benefits, we found a third-party financial institution able to use the benefits and then structured and negotiated a mutually beneficial arrangement for the companies.
  • Documents & Contracts: Chase, Citibank, Barclays, Sumitomo and Rabobank are just a few of the major financial entities that have relied on us for our general leasing expertise and specific knowledge of leasing law and contracts.
  • Law Department Turnaround: We helped a major international leasing company create the strategy, process improvements, training and leadership it needed to improve its law department capability to support a growing business.
  • Lease Training & Education: Thousands of lawyers, finance and leasing professionals rely on Richard M. Contino's leasing books and seminars for smart no-nonsense strategies and information.
