Carlile Patchen & Murphy understands the needs of underwriters in public finance transaction. We are experienced in assisting underwriters in structuring transactions, performing due diligence and meeting regulatory requirements. In recent years, there has been an increasing shift to revenue bond financing, accompanied by a need for complex and sophisticated structures. State and local governments now look to underwriters for creative solutions to their financing needs.

With increased complexity of public finance transactions has also come increased concern about underwriters' obligations with respect to regulatory compliance, full and fair disclosure to investors and the prevention of fraudulent, deceptive and manipulative acts or omissions. Carlile Patchen & Murphy offers underwriters the combination of thorough technical knowledge of public finance law, creativity in structuring transaction, a positive attitude toward making a deal and a practical knowledge of Ohio politics.
