McGeady
Sisneros,
P.C.
has been building and supporting Colorado communities
since 1988 by working with developers and local governments
to plan and finance the infrastructure necessary for quality
residential and commercial development. Water distribution,
wastewater treatment and storm drainage systems, parks
and recreational facilities, streets and traffic signals
may not be the first things that come to mind in choosing
where to live or start a business. But they are essential
ingredients to successful land development (and redevelopment).
They are also costly and legally complex to finance, construct
and manage.
That’s where McGeady Sisneros, P.C., comes in.
Collectively, our attorneys have extensive experience
in:
By
specializing in these practice areas, we have become experts
at creating and representing special
districts to attract private investment to finance
public needs and manage infrastructure facilities once
they are constructed.
Our clients count on us to keep abreast of changes in
state and local law that may affect the success of their
projects. Our team approach enables us to dedicate the
individual expertise of multiple attorneys to each client’s
specific legal needs. We try to make sure our clients
are on a first-name basis with the people who are actually
working on their projects and issues – from shareholder
to paralegal. This enables a client to get good answers
and information quickly and cost-effectively. Our team
approach also means, when necessary, bringing in experts
from other law firms such as Rothgerber
Johnson & Lyons, L.L.P., which has extensive experience
in government litigation and construction law, issues
that commonly arise for special districts.
Special
Districts
The core of our practice is representing special districts
– multi-purpose metropolitan districts and single-purpose
districts, such as fire protection and water-and-sanitation
districts. In fact, we serve as general counsel to more
than 150 special districts
and the list is growing. We are involved in all aspects
of special district representation from organization to
dissolution. This includes drafting service plans, obtaining
city or county approval, acquiring property and rights-of-way,
drafting construction management contracts and intergovernmental
agreements, developing financing plans, structuring debt,
and assuring compliance with all local and state laws
governing quasi-municipal corporations concerning elections,
meetings and open records.
We provide our clients with technical assistance in contract
bidding, drafting construction and construction management
contracts, and monitoring compliance with local laws governing
construction contracting by governments. For construction-related
litigation, we have established a support relationship
with Rothgerber
Johnson & Lyons, L.L.P. to make sure that our
clients have access to the best available expertise in
this area. We also know that with growth comes growing
pains, particularly when a community is divided over if,
where and how to grow. For this reason, we strive to develop
positive working relationships with and among our clients,
local government officials, city and county planners,
and other attorneys. To all of our relationships, we bring
our expertise, professionalism, a strong ethical commitment
. . . and a healthy sense of humor.
Municipal
Finance
We understand Colorado law, particularly the limits imposed
on municipal and county governments in generating new
or additional revenue that is often needed to finance
infrastructure development. We understand the many options
for financing infrastructure construction and operation.
The core of our practice is representing special districts
that have the authority to issue tax-exempt bonds to finance
public improvements. We also have extensive experience
in negotiating cost-sharing and revenue-sharing agreements
among multiple governmental jurisdictions and private
entities.
