For more than a century, Ice Miller lawyers have worked with government officials, elected bodies, and other professionals serving government at every level and in every forum imaginable to understand the challenges facing governments and their respective constituents. We bring all of our resources to bear to help our clients find the best solutions geared toward achieving their comprehensive public finance goals.
Regardless of the size of the borrowing, or the sophistication of the issuer, we combine our vast knowledge, experience, and first-rate client service to navigate the full gamut of financing opportunities. Not only does Ice Miller provide services across all roles (bond, underwriters, issuer, disclosure counsel, etc.) in which a government finance lawyer might serve, we also provide those services in every substantive area.
In addition, we provide many legal services to governments in a fashion that is uncommon in its scope. Who better than Ice Miller to work on a disclosure matter regarding employee benefits when the firm boasts both nationally recognized public finance and public employee benefits resources under a single umbrella? Who better to serve a client in a complex environmental matter when we have institutional depth in both redevelopment and compliance with environmental regulations? And who better to serve a government defending against litigation or challenging a process, project, or program than a firm with lawyers who represent clients in almost every area governments are involved—and not on a one-off basis, but throughout their careers?
While statistics can be boring, to the extent they are available, they reinforce our prominence and aptly tell the story of what Ice Miller can do for clients. Our firm is consistently rated by a national publication among the top law firms in the Midwest and across the country with respect to the number of bond issues approved.
