David J. Song

Exceptional guidance on a complex municipal bond issuance

Our mid-sized city was navigating its first major infrastructure bond issuance in over a decade, a process that felt daunting. We engaged David Song at Nixon Peabody based on a colleague's strong recommendation, and it was the best decision we could have made. David's deep knowledge of public finance law, honed over his seven years of practice, was immediately evident. He didn't just handle the legalities; he educated our entire council and finance team, translating complex regulations into actionable steps. His recognition in the field, including by Best Lawyers, is clearly well-deserved. David anticipated potential hurdles with the underwriters and rating agencies that we hadn't even considered, saving us significant time and ensuring a more favorable outcome. His professionalism was matched by a genuine personal investment in our project's success. He was consistently responsive, even during tight deadlines, and his calm demeanor kept our team focused. The issuance closed smoothly and on schedule, securing crucial funding for our public works project. I would not hesitate to recommend David Song to any municipality or public entity facing similar financial structuring challenges.
