WSHC+B partner and Chair of the Bonds & Public Finance Practice Group, Jeffrey DeCarlo, was recently nominated and selected as a Fellow with the American College of Bond Counsel. Membership in the College is extremely limited and admission as a Fellow is a recognition of the lawyer’s accomplishments and experience in bond law.
The American College of Bond Counsel was formed in 1995 for the purpose of recognizing lawyers who have established reputations among their peers for their skill, experience and high standards of professional and ethical conduct in the practice of bond law. The College believes that a bond lawyer’s expertise can best be judged by his or her peers and has sought to admit to membership in the College only bond lawyers that have considerable experience and outstanding reputations in the field of municipal bond law.
Jeff represents government entities in public finance matters covering the full spectrum of financing structures and techniques, including variable-rate and option bonds, credit enhancement, swaps and other derivative products. Over the course of his career in public finance law, Jeff has acted as bond counsel and disclosure counsel, and as counsel for issuers’, underwriters’, universities, banks, for profit and nonprofit companies, and developers’ counsel on more than 1,000 bond financings totaling more than $15 billion.
