Public Finance

Many of Indiana’s trusted public and private institutions select Bingham McHale as bond counsel for projects both large and small.

We have helped clients obtain innovative and effective public financing solutions for a variety of projects such as the Indiana Government Center, the RCA Dome and Conseco Fieldhouse. We also issue tax-exempt debt for universities and hospitals, cities and towns, libraries, park and school boards and public utilities throughout Indiana.

Our attorneys know that securing the right funding entails more than just identifying the lowest interest rates and complying with a list of laws—which we are adept at doing. It means making strategic decisions to garner the community support that you need to make your project happen—whether it’s building critical infrastructure or other important public purposes. Our job is not over when your financing is complete. Our job is finished when we help you achieve your goals.

As nationally recognized Red Book bond counsel, our perceptive attorneys are members of the National Association of Bond Lawyers.We are also associate members of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, the Association of Indiana Counties and the Indiana Association of County Commissioners. Additionally, we are approved by the USDA Rural Development and the State of Indiana as bond counsel for projects financed through the Rural Development Program, the State’s revolving loan fund (SRF) programs and the State’s supplemental fund program.

Publicly financed projects and programs demand extensive time and effort from everyone involved. As your responsive and knowledgeable counsel, we help you navigate this complex process. With our attorneys on your team, your main focus of any public project will be building it, not financing it.
