Public Finance

About

Provided by Jackson Walker LLP

Jackson Walker’s Public Finance team plays a leading role in advising government entities, nonprofits, and financial institutions across Texas on tax-exempt financings for major projects generated in part by the state’s population growth and infrastructure needs. With more than 140 years of collective experience, the Public Finance group has represented practically every type of entity that can borrow funds on a tax-exempt basis or provide tax-exempt financing in more than $200 billion of public finance transactions.

Work Highlights:

The team serves as bond counsel to several clients, including (but not limited to):

• Houston Independent School District, the largest public school district in Texas with over 190,000 students;
• Katy Independent School District, one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas with over 88,000 students;
• Pasadena Independent School District; and
• City of Pearland, Texas, the fastest-growing city in the Houston, Texas region.

In addition, the team represents the Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin in connection with the Texas Infrastructure Program. This program is important because traditional financing methods are antiquated and have become increasingly more arduous and less accessible in the last five years. Construction of public infrastructure in connection with residential development, including the financing thereof, throughout the state is vitally important.
