Public Finance and Tax Incentives

Our public finance and tax incentives practice include municipal bonds, industrial revenue bonds, general commercial and tax matters, administrative and regulatory law including lobbying and utility regulation, securities, real estate, labor law, and litigation of all kinds. The Firm represents state agencies and authorities, municipalities, counties, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, corporations, utilities, hospitals, and insurers. We serve as bond counsel to the New Mexico Finance Authority for its State Transportation bond program, loan counsel to NMFA for its Public-Project Revolving Fund program, and bond counsel to the Renewable Energy Transmission Authority.

We have been listed in The Bond Buyer’s Municipal Marketplace (formerly The Bond Buyer’s Directory of Municipal Bond Dealers of the United States) since 1982, and, as such, are recognized both nationally and statewide as an independent bond counsel. The Firm was the first of the major commercial law firms in New Mexico to be listed in that publication. The Firm has participated as counsel in the issuance of more than $17.2 billion in tax-exempt securities and more than $4.1 billion in taxable municipal securities. We are experienced in a broad range of tax-exempt financings.
