Governmental Affairs

Business leaders are often surprised by the array of opportunities to interact with state government. From lobbying and procurement to private sector incentives and public private partnerships (P3), Bingham McHale actively assists businesses with a broad range of state government issues on a daily basis.

Our perceptive attorneys are well-positioned to represent your business before regulatory and administrative bodies in hearings regarding rate-making, rule-making, gaming, licensing, alcoholic beverage regulation, property taxes, permitting, environmental matters and other issues arising at the local, state and federal levels, such as procurements.

In the arena of public finance, our attorneys have proven effective at assisting businesses accessing and implementing financing options made available through public sector entities. We help businesses secure lower interest rates associated with tax-exempt debt, meet disclosure requirements imposed by the SEC for access to public bond underwriting and negotiate with other financing participants that regularly operate in the area. Our goal is to inform and empower you in these matters without losing sight of the reasons driving your businesses’ financing need—whether for critical infrastructure or an important public purpose.

For businesses that want to interact with government leaders, the annual Bingham McHale Legislative Conference offers many benefits. Held each December, this day-long conference brings together hundreds of interested individuals with the state’s top elected officials to preview policy issues before the Indiana General Assembly and to make vital introductions with key influencers.

Our experience, knowledge and innovation—as well as our relationships on both sides of the aisle—provide a strong asset to our business and real estate clients.
