A Master of Public Finance Law and an Exceptional Advisor

Our municipality was navigating a complex, multi-phase infrastructure financing project that involved significant tax-exempt bond issuance and intricate disclosure requirements. The stakes were high, and we needed counsel with not just textbook knowledge, but deep, practical wisdom. Bill Gehrig was precisely that advisor. His 44 years of experience, including over 25 specifically dedicated to public finance law, were immediately evident. He guided our team with a calm, authoritative presence, drawing on his vast background as bond and disclosure counsel in thousands of financings. Bill’s advice was strategic and forward-looking; he anticipated potential SEC and IRS scrutiny points we hadn't even considered, saving us from future complications. His recognition in Public Finance Law is well-deserved. Beyond his technical mastery, Bill is a consummate professional who explains complex legal concepts in clear, actionable terms. He was consistently accessible and managed the transaction with flawless precision. The financing closed successfully, on time, and under optimal terms, directly due to his stewardship. We have secured his counsel for future projects without hesitation.
