When business and government meet, we keep you moving forward
Shumaker attorneys serve government entities as general counsel, bond counsel, and special counsel for innovative approaches and practical solutions to bond finance (taxable and exempt), tax levy, public-private partnership, and statutory authority concerns. With a deep knowledge of governmental process, we consider the universe of statutory, tax code, and political options to devise creative ways to accomplish public purposes—whether helping a client pass a levy or create a public-private partnership. We’ve spent decades as outside general and special counsel in areas such as finance, special district formation, economic development, public-private partnership, labor and employment, education, and environmental matters.
We understand the financial constraints imposed on governmental entities, offering guidance on structuring tax levies to enhance revenue-raising capability while maintaining voter appeal.
Our team assists clients in maximizing the revenue potential of economic development incentives such as tax increment financing districts and special tax abatements and credits.
