Practice
Pete Serreze, an associate in the Tax & Benefits Department, joined Ropes & Gray in 2000. His practice concentrates on providing tax advice on public finance transactions for governmental issuers and conduit borrowers. A particular focus of Pete's is assisting universities, hospitals and other nonprofit borrowers in developing programs to maintain the compliance of their bond issues with applicable federal tax requirements after the bonds have been issued. He led a group of Ropes & Gray colleagues in writing Post-Issuance Compliance: A Guide to Practical Strategies and Procedures for 501(c)(3) Borrowers, a detailed, plain-English guide and set of procedures and tools to assist borrowers in this regard. Pete also handles public finance matters before the IRS, including audits, ruling requests and closing agreements.
