Domestically and across the globe, our lawyers have extensive experience serving sovereign and sub-sovereign governments, including nations, provinces, states, counties, cities and other municipalities, districts and political subdivisions when they access the Eurobond, US municipal securities and other major debt markets.

We help clients issue bonds, notes, certifications and other obligations including as bond counsel, disclosure counsel, special tax counsel and general counsel. We help advise on legality and the tax-exempt status of obligations, in both negotiated and competitive sales, as well as disclosures in the primary market and with post-issuance continuing disclosure. Additionally, we often act as counsel to their underwriters, credit enhancers, liquidity providers and swap and other derivative providers, representing all types of commercial and investment banks and dealers in both public offerings and private placements, and with compliance.
