Public Finance

The complexities and nuances of the public finance marketplace can be difficult to navigate, which is why so many clients turn to our trusted team. As a nationally-recognized, “Red Book” listed municipal bond counsel firm, we deliver approving opinions with respect to hundreds of tax-exempt financings, aggregating billions of dollars each year. We serve as bond counsel for a variety of governmental borrowers, including state governments, counties, cities, townships, villages, school districts, universities, sewer districts, library districts, and various governmental authorities and commissions, as well as handling a wide variety of health care, 501(c)(3), multi-family and single-family housing, solid waste disposal, and small issue manufacturing financings.  We are consistently ranked as one of the top firms in the nation in both dollar volume and number of deals, as recognized by The Bond Buyer/Thomson Reuters.

Our experience has enabled us to build strong relationships with major investment banks, financial institutions and financial advisory firms across the country.  In turn, this allows us to serve in roles beyond bond counsel, as we regularly represent the full range of participants in the municipal finance market, including underwriters, commercial and trustee banks, qualified borrowers, non-profit corporations and private developers.
