Mr. McRill focuses his practice on public and corporate finance. He has served as bond counsel and counsel to issuers, underwriters, banks and borrowers on numerous taxable and tax-exempt debt financings. He has participated in all types of public finance transactions, with a particular emphasis in nonprofit, exempt facility, and manufacturing financings, including complex non-rated, multi-modal and interest rate swap transactions.
A significant portion of his practice involves structuring and completing complicated project financings for the benefit of nonprofit organizations, including transactions for private secondary and elementary schools and several major area hospitals, continuing care retirement communities and other healthcare institutions. He also has served in a variety of capacities on "bank qualified" bond issues for nonprofits. These transactions often require the resolution of an array of real estate, credit and tax issues.
Mr. McRill has also served as lead attorney on behalf of the firm in a number of financings for the construction of major sewage and solid waste disposal facilities located across the country for several nationally known paper and industrial companies. He has developed experience with addressing the challenging and diverse tax issues that arise with major exempt facility bond transactions.
