Our Practice

Public Finance


Sidley’s almost 100 years of experience in Public Finance includes substantial experience as both bond counsel and disclosure counsel, advising cities, counties, school districts, states (including Puerto Rico) and other public entities throughout the United States with respect to the issuance of municipal bonds. Our Public Finance lawyers assist in finding creative and innovative solutions to the various types of debt management issues facing our municipal, nonprofit and financial institution clients. Sidley received a first-tier ranking in Public Finance in New York and San Francisco in the inaugural U.S.News - Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” survey for 2010, and the most first-tier national rankings of any U.S. law firm overall.

Our Public Finance practice is supported by a full complement of experienced tax lawyers and a department that focuses on the development and structuring of financial derivative instruments.

Of the many advantages of working with Sidley, none may be as important as the ability of members of the Public Finance group to access other legal professionals within our firm in order to obtain their views on a full range of subjects, including transportation, real estate, environmental, banking, litigation and bankruptcy matters. In any financing, it is typical that our lawyers will consult with a broad range of professionals to ensure that clients are obtaining the highest level of legal advice regarding matters ancillary to the central goal of obtaining financing for the various needs of the client.
