We serve as counsel to corporate trustees on many occasions, and regularly represent corporate trustees in connection with defaulted or distressed municipal securities issues.
We have often been called upon by municipalities and other public entities to draft and review legislation.
In recent years we have participated in a number of novel and high-profile transactions, including public facility sale-leaseback transactions and financing of major industrial development efforts. Some examples are American Honda Motors, Inc., Naheola Cogeneration, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC. We have served as counsel to numerous municipalities and public corporations in connection with various economic development and tax incentive financings. We also are familiar with the intricacies of public investment, including that by pension funds, in private projects.
Our public finance lawyers frequently work with lawyers from other practice areas in the firm — particularly tax, corporate, banking, securities and health care — to provide complete service for clients on complex public finance matters.
