Introduction
Danny Kim is an experienced municipal bond lawyer with a professional accounting background who focuses his practice primarily on assisting government agencies in financing capital projects in the public finance market.
My focus
I assist with all facets of municipal finance and have extensive experience in public finance, project finance, and structured finance. I serve as bond counsel, disclosure counsel and underwriter’s counsel on transactions involving enterprise revenue bonds, Mello-Roos and assessment district bonds, lease revenue bonds and certificates of participation and tax allocation bonds. I also have significant experience in the financing of student housing facilities.
My experience as a security and exchange attorney in New York coupled with my background as a certified public accountant uniquely enhances how I represent my clients in their business decisions.
Looking ahead
I see changes in regulatory aspects—there will be greater scrutiny of the market by the IRS and the Securities and Exchange Commission. There won’t be any slowdown, so clients will have to be more conscious of the ever-changing landscape.
