Public Finance

A National Leader with a Network of Long-Standing Client Relationships

Public finance transactions require navigation of a unique mix of specialized tax, securities and governmental law provisions, often against a backdrop of political pressures and media scrutiny. While other prominent firms have de-emphasized their public finance practices due to these complexities, we remain committed to ours. We focus attention on those aspects of a transaction that are of true importance to our clients, while assisting our clients in streamlining the various stages of a financing and avoiding or minimizing wheel-spinning by other transaction participants. We help clients achieve their strategic objectives.
