Exceptional guidance on a complex municipal bond issuance

Our organization recently undertook a significant municipal bond financing project, and we engaged Rick Hazlett based on his long-standing reputation in Charlotte's financial law community. With over four decades of experience, his strategic insight was immediately apparent. He expertly guided our board through the intricate legal and regulatory landscape of bond finance, drawing on the deep knowledge that has clearly earned him recognition in banking and finance law. His ability to anticipate issues and explain complex terms in clear, economic language—a nod to his academic background—was invaluable. The transaction closed smoothly and efficiently. Our only slight critique would be that during peak periods, response times from his support staff could occasionally lag, but Rick himself was always ultimately accessible. We highly recommend him for sophisticated financing matters.
