Conlon, Attorney at Law, principally provides legal advice to investment banks, mutual funds and other investors relating to U.S. capital market finance transactions such as asset-backed securities and municipal bonds, including tender option bonds. I advise both banks and others that sponsor or structure these securities, as well as investors that purchase them. I have been providing this advice for over fifteen years.
