First Lease Advisors provides legal and business consulting services to national and international equipment leasing, manufacturing, and financing companies:

• Renewable Energy: When a major international renewable energy developer wanted a competitive and profitable customer financing program, our team set up a turnkey solution within three months.
• 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.
• 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 finance and leasing professionals rely on Richard M. Contino's leasing books and seminars for smart no-nonsense strategies and information.
