Regional, state and local government entities trust our team to structure their financing transactions for a wide variety of public infrastructure and improvement projects. Tailoring our approach to fit each client’s unique needs, we have experience handling transactions for an array of projects, ranging from sidewalk, bridge and road improvements to sewer, water and other utility projects. We also have experience handling large-scale projects including airports, stadiums, hospitals and convention centers.
Clients appreciate our ability to guide them through every step of the transaction, from the preparation of authorizing legislation and issuer documentation to managing securities and tax law compliance. Further, we have experience working with all types of investment banking firms, financial institutions, trustees, rating agencies and credit support providers, both in our role as bond counsel and in providing counsel to underwriters and purchasers. In that vein, we are able to provide advice regarding the impact of fund transfers, refundings, tax levy proceedings, special assessment proceedings, derivative products, bank eligibility, arbitrage compliance and rebate calculations and continuing disclosure.
In addition to our counsel on transactional matters, our attorneys remain active in helping shape public finance law, relying on our network of connections with government and business leaders in the communities we serve. In this role, we have drafted changes to state statutes and regulations, which enables us to remain ahead of developments impacting our clients and provides us with detailed knowledge of state and local funding requirements.
