Public Finance Law Attorneys

Understanding Public Finance Law

Public finance law is a specialized area of law that governs the financial activities of government entities – from municipalities and states to federal agencies and international organizations. It’s a multifaceted field dealing with how governments raise money, manage debt, and ensure responsible financial operations. It’s a critical area of law designed to protect public funds and ensure accountability in government spending.

At its core, public finance law addresses a wide range of issues, including:

• Bond Issuances: This involves the legal processes surrounding the creation and sale of municipal bonds, ensuring compliance with securities regulations and investor protections. Our attorneys guide issuers through the entire process, from structuring the bond offering to securing final approval.
• Municipal Finance: We assist cities, counties, and other local governments with their budgeting, borrowing, and financial management practices, helping them achieve sustainable fiscal policies.
• Taxation: Public finance law covers the legal aspects of local and state taxation, including property tax, sales tax, and income tax, ensuring compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
• Debt Management: We advise on strategies for managing government debt, including refinancing, restructuring, and ensuring compliance with debt covenants.
