My practice is focused on tax-exempt and taxable financings for nonprofit health care entities. I have worked as bond counsel, underwriter's counsel, issuer's counsel, borrower's counsel, restructuring counsel, and purchaser's counsel in both tax-exempt and taxable health care transactions.These transactions have entailed a wide variety of document structures, including multimodal transactions, embedded derivatives, forward commitments, and swaps. I have also represented providers of derivative products, guaranteed investment contracts, interest rate swaps, repurchase agreements, and forward delivery agreements.I am a frequent lecturer at national conferences on issues related to tax-exempt bond financings and bond compliance.
