Public Finance

As one of the leading public finance practices in the greater Mid-Atlantic region, Miles & Stockbridge's Public Finance practice includes public finance, affordable housing, project finance and Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) to provide clients with comprehensive legal coverage of every facet of public finance.

We offer critical guidance on the legal aspects of bond structuring, helping borrowers evaluate options including tax-exempt revenue bonds, private activity bonds for for-profit developers, bank-qualified bonds for smaller projects and taxable bonds for portions not qualifying for tax-exempt status.

We have served as bond counsel, underwriter's counsel, developer's counsel or concessionaire's counsel in connection with many of the region's most significant economic development projects, including public-private-partnership financings, the Seagirt Marine Terminal, the National Harbor development, the National Aquarium, and multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects. We also have extensive experience in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and Special Tax District (STD) financings.

Our team possesses significant experience in senior living financing, executing bond financing transactions ranging from the low millions to hundreds of millions of dollars, including those used to finance the development of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) and related projects.
