Project finance and public finance attorneys Adam Gordon and Jade Turner-Bond were elected to Nixon Peabody LLP’s global partnership, effective Feb. 1.
Gordon, based in New York, concentrates on infrastructure, economic development and project finance. He routinely is bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriters’ counsel and bank counsel on tax-exempt and taxable bond issuances.
He has worked on a variety of transportation, water, nonprofit, real estate and public-private partnership financings.
Gordon is also Nixon Peabody’s liaison to the Harlem Youth Court, a program that trains teenagers to serve as jurors, judges and attorneys, handling real-life cases involving their peers.
Turner-Bond, based in Los Angeles, represents diverse clients in the financing and refinancing of infrastructure and capital improvements projects for state and local municipal entities, as well as cultural institutions.
She formerly worked in the California State Treasurer’s Office.
Her experience includes work as bond counsel, disclosure counsel and underwriter’s counsel on a spectrum of taxable and tax-exempt debt structures.
Turner-Bond is second vice chair to the National Association of Bond Lawyers and is a board member in charge of diversity and inclusion for the Los Angeles Chapter of Women in Public Finance.
Five of Nixon Peabody’s nine new partners are attorneys of color and women.
“Not only does the 2021 partner class represent our firm’s diverse pipeline of talent, each attorney in this group has exemplified resilience amid the pandemic and its countless challenges,” said chief executive and managing partner Andrew Glincher.
