Public finance lawyer Jeffrey Philp joins Jones Day as partner in New York

Public finance lawyer Jeffrey Philp has joined Jones Day as a partner in its Financial Markets Practice, based in New York.

Mr. Philp advises issuers, underwriters, and lenders in a variety of public finance and real assets transactions. He has particular experience serving as counsel for financings in connection with multi-family and single-family residential projects, bond counsel and disclosure counsel for government infrastructure authorities, and counsel for the securitization of pools of housing development bonds and loans. Mr. Philp has also worked on other types of project financings, including advising the developer of a natural gas-based fertilizer and chemical production facility, the underwriter of a biofuel production facility, and the team that developed the first revolving loan fund to provide financing for charter schools.

"Jeff has advised clients in a number of high-value infrastructure finance projects across diverse sectors such as energy and housing, " said Jay Tambe, Practice Leader of Jones Day's Financial Markets Practice. "Against the backdrop of our very active work on a number of energy transition, infrastructure, and real estate matters, his extensive experience working with both public sector authorities and private sector investors adds to our significant capabilities around the world. I am delighted to welcome him to our team. "

The nearly 320 lawyers around the world in Jones Day's Financial Markets Practice work collaboratively on financing, real estate, and energy transition and infrastructure projects and also advise on a full range of complex cross-border financial transactions, regulatory matters, investigations, and litigation. Representing a diverse client base of global financial institutions, issuers, borrowers, funds, asset managers, and fintech companies, these lawyers have helped clients close more than $1 trillion in financing transactions over the last five years, including many precedent-setting financings. On the heels of Jarrod Murphy (M&A/PE and infrastructure) and Jeffrey Ruskin (real estate and real estate financing), Mr. Philp is the third partner with deep infrastructure and real estate experience to join Jones Day in New York in the last month.

"Jeff has worked on some of the most important public finance and infrastructure projects in the New York market in recent years, notably on a number of significant housing development projects," said Lee DeJulius, Partner-in-Charge of Jones Day's New York Office. "His extensive experience working with project funders and government infrastructure authorities is a great addition and I look forward to his contributions to the Firm."
