Public Finance

From mass transit and hospitals to baseball stadiums and military housing, our Public Finance group has earned a national reputation for innovative work in the financing of a wide range of municipal and infrastructure projects.

We have one of the largest public finance practices in the U.S. and consistently rank among the ten most active bond and underwriter counsels nationally in dollar value of bonds issued. We are widely recognized for our knowledge and creativity in dealing with municipal finance and federal tax law. We help clients find the best possible solutions to financing infrastructure needs in changing, often turbulent markets.

Our clients include:

  • State and local governments
  • Underwriters
  • Private placement agents
  • Bond insurers
  • Banks
  • Corporate and not-for-profit obligors

We are experienced in all aspects of structuring, documenting, negotiating, and closing transactions, which is demonstrated in the scope of our work, which includes:

  • Low-income housing
  • Assisted living and health care facilities
  • Stadiums and arenas
  • Military family housing
  • Hotels
  • Power, water, and sewer facilities
  • Transportation projects
  • Municipal improvement projects
  • Industrial, civic, and economic development projects
  • College and university facilities

Our lawyers have assisted many clients in the securitization of payments owed to governmental entities from the nationwide tobacco litigation settlement. We serve as counsel in the development and financing of stadiums and arenas throughout North America, including projects for the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills, and the Miami Heat.

Transactions frequently cross disciplines. We often work with other Nixon Peabody attorneys who are experienced in affordable housing, corporate law, securities, bankruptcy, antitrust, real estate, federal and state law, regulatory, environmental, nonprofit, and syndication matters.
