Debt Capital Markets

Governmental Issuers



William Blair & Company has extensive experience in assisting governmental entities with their capital financing needs. By providing senior-level attention, we help our clients develop optimal financing structures that deliver the lowest possible cost of capital. Our experience includes structuring and underwriting both general obligation and revenue bonds featuring a variety of fixed, variable-rate, and synthetic structures.

Our structuring expertise allows us to provide clients with straightforward and timely advice concerning complex refunding transactions. Our experience includes financing for the following types of projects:

  • Airports

  • Convention facilities

  • Court and jail facilities

  • Highways

  • Mass transit

  • Municipal facilities for fire, police, and library services

  • Municipal utilities

  • Parks and open space

  • Water and sewer systems
As a relationship-oriented organization, we provide continuing support after the completion of a transaction. Our long-term relationship focus often means that our best advice is against our own self-interest. Because we are not affiliated with a provider of credit enhancement or interest rate swaps, we are able to provide independent advice to our clients concerning the pricing and other terms of credit enhancement and interest rate swap transactions. We regularly provide Swap Advisory Services to our governmental clients.
