Legislative Drafting

Miller Canfield public law attorneys have been responsible for drafting state law provisions in virtually all aspects of public finance – laws authorizing borrowing; creating bond issuers; authorizing revenue finance transactions of various sorts; creating economic development incentives of various types; controlling public funds investments; and amending laws pertaining to public schools, colleges and universities, community colleges and local governmental units, to name just a few.

Drafting new and innovative laws is only part of our experience.  New policy initiatives often trigger legal challenges to contest the validity of statutes.  Miller Canfield lawyers frequently have been asked to defend statutes against legal challenges and to establish the legal validity of new laws.  We have earned a reputation for success based upon a proven track record.
