Since the founding of Peck Shaffer in 1889, our attorneys have built a proud tradition of national leadership in public finance law. Over the years, Peck Shaffer has cultivated the experience, knowledge and creativity to guide our clients, which include hundreds of municipalities, counties, school districts and higher educational institutions, townships, special districts, cultural and development authorities, private developers and underwriters, in issuing bonds and other debt instruments. The capital improvements financed with the proceeds of this debt include traditional governmental projects, such as roads, sewers, water systems, schools, administrative facilities, health care facilities, stadiums and public housing, facilities for nonprofit organizations, such as hospitals, university facilities, nursing homes and other housing for senior citizens, and "exempt facilities" for industrial and commercial users, such as factories, waste recovery plants and port facilities.
