Pennock works with governmental issuers, nonprofit organizations and banking institutions on financings that benefit communities across the State of New York and around the country. Her practice includes serving as bond counsel, underwriter’s counsel, disclosure counsel or borrower’s counsel for financings on behalf of colleges and universities, cultural institutions and other not-for-profit corporations, water authorities and public power agencies, transportation authorities as well as infrastructure and industrial development projects. She also focuses on securitizations of tobacco settlement revenues and other municipal receivables.
