What do you focus on?

Having worked for the U.S. Treasury and IRS and in private practice, I focus my work on three main areas, to assist clients in complex tax-exempt finance transactions and related matters.

  • I have represented many different types of issuers of tax-exempt bonds in structuring their transactions to comply with the federal tax rules, including cities, counties, states, public power systems and universities.
  • I have worked with investment banks, financial advisors and project developers in putting together financings to maximize the use of tax-exempt financings, particularly in projects that involve governmental and private entities working together.
  • I have also done a great deal of work on legislative, regulatory and IRS enforcement matters involving tax-exempt finance on behalf of state and local governments, associations, investment banks and investors.
