Given our history of service as bond counsel starting in the early 1900’s, we maintain numerous long-term relationships with governmental clients.
These governmental clients hire Ice Miller to serve as issuer's counsel in a number of different contexts. We have served as issuer's counsel to state agencies in the normal course of business, as issuer's counsel in conduit borrowings and as special counsel to the issuer in economic development and redevelopment deals, often working with the regular counsel for the issuer in a co-counsel relationship. From time to time, we assist governmental entities as general counsel. We are hired to serve in this role because of our vast knowledge of the various institutions and the laws and procedures impacting those institutions.
