Career

Consistently recognized by Chambers USA and The Legal 500 as a top-tier practitioner, Kim has an active buy-side representation practice and advises prospective purchasers and bondholders in primary offering transactions and ongoing matters involving distressed financings, high-yield offerings, bioenergy and recycling facilities, economic development projects, secondary market transactions, and municipal bankruptcies and workouts.

Her practice focuses on representing municipal securities law and general lending matters, municipal finance and asset recovery, and project finance — including transactions for bioenergy and recycling facilities, public-private partnerships, and housing and senior living finance. Her work encompasses workforce housing, disclosure matters, and loan and security issues. Kim maintains a special concentration on disclosure compliance and risk factor disclosure, covering areas such as climate change and cybersecurity risk, distressed municipal issuers, pension analysis, and securities regulatory enforcement. She also has experience in complex nonprofit lending, securities, and investment structures.

Kim maintains an active housing finance practice, regularly representing underwriters, issuers, investors, developers, and trustees in essential or workforce housing financings, single-family mortgage bond transactions, military housing, senior living, and Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) transactions. She has counseled investors and developers nationwide in numerous lower-tier LIHTC transactions, including those involving solar and renewable energy credits.

Through a secondment to the investment banking legal department at Goldman Sachs covering public finance, Kim acquired experience in in-house legal, regulatory, and compliance matters for broker-dealers and municipal advisors related to municipal securities, including remarketings, commercial paper programs, municipal advisor rules, G-17 and other MSRB rules, and the development of internal policies and procedures.

Her pro bono service includes representing members of the Women’s National Ice Hockey Team and serving as a child advocate through the Support Center for Child Advocates. Kim has also represented clients through the Homeless Advocacy Project.

Prior to her legal career, Kim worked as both a legal and environmental science research assistant at Drexel University.
