What do you focus on?

In my finance practice, I regularly work with financial institutions in connection with the direct purchase of tax-exempt bonds and credit and/or liquidity facilities issued to support tax-exempt and taxable municipal securities. In addition, I represent and counsel conduit borrowers in structuring and negotiating their taxable and tax-exempt financing transactions, and negotiate and draft documents in a manner that maximizes flexibility and protection for those borrowers.

I also regularly advise clients on ongoing compliance matters, including secondary market disclosure, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits, change in use of bond-financed facilities, the impact of covenants on affiliation activity, and reporting requirements for the IRS Form 990, Schedule K.
