As a bond, underwriter's, and issuer's counsel for state and local public financings, Brad's understanding of tax-exempt and taxable debt means clients receive tailored, efficient strategies that can maximize their financial outcomes. He is fluent in myriad financing tools, including general obligation bonds, utility and tax increment revenue bonds, local income tax and innkeepers' tax revenue bonds, pool financings, equipment lease-purchase financings, annual appropriation financings, and moral obligation-supported bonds.

Leveraging the firm's robust network of state, municipal, nonprofit, and banking connections, Brad excels at steering clients through transformative regional projects that are mission-critical to those he serves.

A trusted adviser who knows how to leverage the intricate interplay between finance, law, and community needs, Brad's practice extends to general municipal and economic development initiatives for Indiana cities, towns, and counties. His ability to navigate these interconnected fields frequently results in well-rounded strategies that not only meet legal requirements but also foster economic growth and enhance community well-being, often laying the foundation for future growth and development.
