The Public Finance Department at Best & Flanagan
has become recognized
as an innovative leader in tax-exempt municipal bond financings
and taxable
bond financings. With six attorneys practicing as nationally recognized
Bond
Counsel, Best & Flanagan has a wide range of experience and
depth in all areas of
public finance.
Best & Flanagan’s public finance lawyers have acted as
Bond Counsel and counsel to underwriters, developers/borrowers, issuers,
trustees and credit enhancement providers in all areas of tax-exempt
and taxable financing. In cooperation with our business and real
estate attorneys, Best & Flanagan can resolve all of the legal
issues which arise from project conception through structuring the
financing proposal, coordinating construction and development matters,
issuing debt in a publicly offered or privately placed transaction,
to implementation and operation of the financed project. In addition
to a traditional practice in general obligation bonds, industrial
development revenue bonds, multifamily housing revenue bonds and
corporate bonds, we have been a leader in the development of 501(c)(3)
financings of housing, health care, educational and other charitable
purposes, and in providing Native American Tribes with tax-exempt
financings for infrastructure and development purposes and taxable
financings for gaming facilities.
In all of our activities in the public finance area, we are solutions-oriented,
looking for practical answers to legal and
tax issues which are often technical and obscure. We are appreciated
by our clients for our ability to work together
toward the common goal of a successful project financing within the
constraints imposed by state and federal law.
We value the continuing relationships we have built with the issuers,
underwriters, developers/borrowers, bankers,
non-profit organizations, Native American Tribes and trustees with
whom we work in the public finance community.
