About

Provided by GrayRobinson, PA

Funding major improvements, infrastructure, and development can be a tedious and overwhelming process; however, GrayRobinson’s public finance team has counseled a wide variety of clients through numerous financings. Our public finance practice group includes attorneys who have served as disclosure counsel, underwriter’s counsel, bond counsel, issuer’s counsel, borrower’s counsel, and trustee’s counsel for tax-exempt and taxable financings. GrayRobinson attorneys have served as counsel on more than $27.6 billion in public financing in the past decade.

We have provided counsel to aviation authorities, banks, charter schools, cities, counties, government financing pools, hospitals, housing authorities, port authorities, school boards, tax-exempt organizations, utilities, water support authorities, universities, and special districts. We’ve been involved in both traditional methods—such as revenue and general obligation bonds and refunding notes—and innovative structures like public-private partnership gap financing. Whatever the need, we have the experience.

Our public finance attorneys are active members of the National Association of Bond Lawyers (NABL) and frequent speakers at NABL events and other conferences, including The Florida Bar’s Public Finance in Florida, the Florida Government Finance Officers Association School of Government Finance, and the Florida Association of Counties annual conference.
