Overview

Bond has been engaged in public finance for almost 30 years. The firm is included in the "Redbook" (i.e., the "The Bond Buyer's Municipal Marketplace") as nationally recognized bond counsel. In recent years we have issued approving opinions on more than $1 billion of bond and note issues. Our attorneys are active members of the National Association of Bond Lawyers, have acted as panelists in seminars conducted by the Association, and have participated in projects conducted by the New York State Bar Association's Tax Section.

We have extensive experience as bond counsel or institution counsel in financings through local Industrial Development Agencies and the New York State Dormitory Authority for college and university facilities. During the last several years, we have been bond counsel in financings for Syracuse University, Utica College, Le Moyne College, Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). We also have served as institution counsel in connection with Dormitory Authority financings for Ithaca College, Hamilton College and Hartwick College.
