Public Finance (Bonds)

The Public Finance practice group of Woods Rogers handles general obligation and revenue bond financing for cities, counties and towns; tax-exempt leasing; industrial development bonds for manufacturing facilities, multi-family and single family housing, 501(c)(3) facilities and other eligible facilities; and all related matters.

Over the years, the firm has represented:

• municipal issuers
• issuing authorities
• conduit borrowers
• corporate trustees
• bond purchasers
• underwriters
• remarketing agents
• issuers of letters of credit

This broad experience gives the firm sensitivity to the concerns of all parties involved in a bond issue and enables the firm to more effectively represent you in a particular transaction.

The firm has participated in structuring and document preparation and review for a broad range of publicly offered and privately placed bond financings, including:

• governmental purpose financings (both general obligation bonds and revenue bonds)
• financings for manufacturers
• 501(c)(3) financings for colleges, hospitals and other charitable organizations
• multi-family and single-family housing issues
• issues for a wide variety of other conduit borrowers

We have been involved in both private placements and public offerings.  While the bulk of the firm's public finance practice has involved tax-exempt bonds, we have also participated in a number of taxable issues.

Below is a representative list of governmental bond issues in which we have participated.
