Big bond issues for the state of Georgia and MARTA made Holland & Knight the top Southeastern bond counsel for the first six months of the year, with $1.46 billion in sales.
Holland & Knight partner Woody Vaughan and senior counsel Allison Dyer in Atlanta advised the state on the No. 1 debt offering for the period, according to Thompson Reuters: a $982.9 million issue of general obligation bonds on June 17. Vaughan said the issue financed capital projects for several state agencies, mostly K-12 education.
