As a solicitor for a local government, authority or school district, you have one of the most challenging positions a Pennsylvania lawyer can hold. Your municipal client is a special type of entity, different from a private company but with legal challenges that run the gamut, ranging from general litigation to contracts, labor law to zoning, Right-to-Know Law to dog-bite law and just about anything else you can think of.
In most cases, you are not experienced in public finance. When your municipal client issues bonds to finance or refinance a capital project, your client will often retain a special counsel qualified in municipal finance, known as bond counsel. The bond counsel is an expert in the process of issuing debt and will quarterback the legal aspects of the bond issue.
