Bond has acted as bond counsel to municipalities and school districts for more than 30 years. We are listed in the "Red Book" directory of nationally recognized bond counsel. Since January 1, 2008, we have issued approving opinions on more than $2.4 billion of note and bond issues. We are bond counsel for more than 50 New York municipalities and school districts, and also serve as bond counsel or transaction counsel for numerous industrial development agencies and other public benefit corporations.
In addition to traditional general obligation bond and note issues, we have also served as bond counsel for less traditional financing vehicles such as tax-exempt equipment leases, certificates of participation, tobacco bond issues, energy performance contracts, "63-20" financings and PILOT increment financings. We have extensive experience with financings through the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY), the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) and the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development. Our public finance attorneys also represent municipalities in the formation or extension of sewer, water and other special improvement districts and in New York State Empire Zone matters.

We also counsel our municipal clients regarding the tax law requirements for municipal bonds and notes, such as private business use limitations and arbitrage rebate requirements. Our services include preparing post-issuance compliance policies and counseling clients on tax questions arising after bonds are issued, to help clients maintain the tax-exempt status of their bonds.
