Services that drive impact

Our reputation for practical advice combined with a history of client innovation has resulted in our way becoming the standard for the industry.

Municipal Financial Advisory

DS&C guides clients through the decisions, alternatives and risks they face in entering capital markets. Our more than three decades of experience comes with an in-depth understanding of the debt issuance process and a commitment to pursue the lowest cost of funding.

Election Advisory

Placing a measure on the ballot requires immense understanding of the political process, great attention to detail and an ability to understand all points of view. Our depth of experience allows us to prepare, analyze and execute a capital campaign with the goal of addressing long-term needs while gaining voter approval.

Teacher Staff Housing General Obligation Bonds

Many public school teachers can’t afford to live in the very districts they teach. DS&C addressed this problem with the first voter-backed teacher-staff housing general obligation bond. Its success can be seen in the Jefferson Union High School District, the Soledad Unified School District and several others across the state that have adopted this innovative approach to improving their communities.
