Background

About Amy Curran

My practice centers on social finance across multiple sectors, including public finance for nonprofit hospitals, health care systems, senior living communities, continuing care retirement communities, universities, and infrastructure projects and ESG finance and impact investing for both nonprofit and for-profit clients in a variety of impact areas. I have served as bond counsel, underwriter's counsel, and borrower's counsel in dozens of financings and related transactions and have structured, negotiated, drafted, and implemented fixed rate, variable rate, multimodal, and put bond financing structures. I also represent social service providers, investors, municipal entities, and intermediaries in "pay for success" financings for early childhood education, homelessness reduction, juvenile services, and recidivism reduction projects. In addition, I advise clients regarding post-issuance compliance with tax-related statutes and regulations, disclosure requirements and bond document covenants and prepare and review clients’ ESG investing policies. I serve on Chapman's governing Policy Committee and am a member of the Executive Committee supporting non-partner attorney matters. I also chair the Professional Personnel Committee, which is responsible for reviewing and supporting the performance, growth, and advancement of associate, counsel, senior counsel, and staff attorneys. I am a past chair of the firm's Employment Committee and Professional Development Committee. I was recognized in Best Lawyers in America® 2024 edition for my work in Public Finance, have been ranked by Chambers USA as a leading public finance attorney in Illinois (Band 1) in 2023 and 2024, received the 2023 -2024 Distinguished Alumna Service Award from the Chicago-Kent College of Law, and was named 2020-2021 Chicago-Kent College of Law Student Bar Association Alumna of the Year.
