Law firm Watson, Farley and Williams has appointed two new partners to its London asset finance team.

Jahnavi Ramachandran specialises in transport finance, particularly aviation, with experience in the acquisition ring, financing and leasing of commercial aircraft, business jets and helicopters. She has acted for banks, lessors and airlines as well as export credit agencies, and was listed as a 2011 rising star in Airfinance Journal.

Kavita Shah specialises in international finance, including ship finance and structured and project finance. She has acted for financial institutions, international corporations and shipping companies, recently advising a consortium of eight banks on a $700m (€532m), seven year term loan and revolving credit facility for Sovcomflot.

As part of the annual partner promotions, effective from 1 May 1, the firm has also appointed Ahmad Khonsari and Daniel Marhewa in the corporate team in Munich.

Michael Greville, WFW’s managing partner, said the promotions "articulate not only our confidence in these individuals but in the ongoing strength of our firm, to which I have no doubt that they will continue to contribute enormously."

Chris Lowe, partner and head of WFW’s maritime practice, added: "The appointment of these talented individuals is an affirmation of the strength and continuing growth of our asset finance practice and the firm’s ongoing commitment to the transport sector."
