Overview

We assist clients by acting as bond counsel and special counsel to school districts in public finance transactions. Our representation includes rendering opinions regarding school district obligations (including tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes and serial bonds), that such obligations have been properly authorized, issued and are valid obligations of the school district, and that interest on such obligations is excludable from the gross income of the holders for federal, state and local tax purposes; assisting school districts in structuring financing; and providing advice regarding the requirements and restrictions of the Internal Revenue Code, the local Finance Law and the Education Law applicable to School District borrowings.
