      Practices

    Economic Development Bonds

    We work with clients to get the most from tax-exempt borrowing for economic development and other projects, so borrowers reap the maximum benefits while issuers are protected, and achieve their policy goals.

    /Overview

    The incentives offered through tax-exempt borrowing for economic development and other projects are an exceptional way for communities to provide capital to growing local employers.

    We serve as bond, project, and borrower’s counsel for many types of projects and clients, consistently documenting and closing deals valued in the billions of dollars. In all instances, our attorneys bring sensitivity to the diverse goals of the parties, and the tools to help them find common ground.

    Our multidisciplinary team gets the deal done—efficiently and effectively. We leverage our industry knowledge, understanding of the differing perspectives and goals, and innovative approaches to successfully close our clients’ transactions.
