WE HELP OUR CLIENTS DRIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH KEY PUBLIC FINANCING PROJECTS ACROSS THE NATION.
Overview
Our public finance practice is nationally recognized for its outstanding expertise. For decades, we have helped state and municipal entities complete complex, sophisticated transactions, as well as more traditional general obligation financing. Our clients seek our legal advice to build schools, parks, community centers, streets, hospitals and nursing homes, multi-family housing, jails, wastewater and solid waste facilities, stadiums, utilities and many other facilities as well as to finance single-family mortgage loans and student loans.
Our attorneys serve clients as bond counsel, issuer’s counsel, underwriter’s and placement agent counsel, borrower’s counsel, special tax counsel, letter of credit bank counsel, and trustee’s counsel in connection with the issuance of tax-exempt and taxable bonds by state and municipal issuers for general government purposes or on behalf of 501(c)(3) and other borrowers. We also counsel issuers and conduit borrowers on compliance with arbitrage, rebate, spending, and use requirements, continuing disclosure, and IRS audits.
Our team approach to client representation ensures that clients’ needs are met in the most efficient and timely manner possible. Our public finance team collaborates with Dorsey lawyers in related areas, such as SEC investigations, tax, state and federal securities law compliance, land use and development finance, bond defaults and bond workouts. Many of our public finance lawyers practice in multiple related areas, such as legislative affairs, broker dealer compliance, tax, exempt organization law and Indian and gaming law.
