Public Finance

Building on a nearly 100-year firm history in public finance that includes the financing of such iconic projects as the Golden Gate Bridge and Carnegie Hall, Orrick’s public finance lawyers have handled thousands of public finance transactions.

Orrick consistently ranks as the top public finance firm in the United States. Clients include municipal issuers, non-profit corporations, Indian tribes, underwriters, private borrowers, credit providers, investment providers, swap/derivative product providers, and others, in both primary and secondary market transactions.

Our experience encompasses every type of project or program financed with municipal debt, whether tax-exempt or taxable, for municipal or private borrowers. Examples include a broad range of infrastructure, cultural, sports, transportation, utility, housing, health care, education, and other projects.

In conjunction with Orrick’s wholly owned subsidiary, Bond Logistix, LLC, we also are a leader in helping clients and other municipal market participants with post-issuance compliance and enforcement issues, including arbitrage rebate, continuing disclosure, investment placement and management, program administration, IRS audits, SEC investigations, defaults, bankruptcies, and other workouts.
