Tom Lee

Tom has more than 30 years of experience in providing legal guidance on billions of dollars of municipal bond transactions ranging from bond issues for basic infrastructure such as schools, water and sewer facilities, power plants, roads and airports, to highly structured transactions for home ownership and residential rental housing and student loans. Meeting the objectives of his clients requires an intricate knowledge of the financial aspects of their transactions, the federal tax and securities law aspects of their transaction, the underlying laws and policies that apply to the transactions, and also understanding the “big picture” issues of how a transaction falls within the overall financial plan of a given client.

Practicing almost exclusively on North Carolina based transactions, Tom has been a leader in the development of the North Carolina public finance world during his career. He has been the draftsman of most of the bond and other public finance related laws enacted by the North Carolina legislature in the last 25 years, and has also been involved in the development of new financing techniques that begin as the innovative new product and evolve into the mainstream.
