Dinsmore & Shohl LLP is pleased to welcome L. Todd Gibson as a partner in its Cleveland office, where he establishes a local presence for the firm’s national public finance practice of nearly 50 attorneys in 11 of the firm’s offices coast to coast.

Gibson joins the firm from Squire Patton Boggs LLP and concentrates his practice on tax-exempt health care finance and debt-related derivatives. He has more than 15 years of experience as underwriter’s, borrower’s, bond, and bank counsel in nonprofit health care and other 501(c)(3) financings.

Additionally, Gibson has served as bond and borrower’s counsel for multi-facility health systems and county and community hospitals, as well as underwriter and bank counsel to large and small banks. He has more than 20 years of experience negotiating International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements, trade confirmations, and credit support documentation.

“Todd’s strong public finance background and knowledge of the Cleveland area make him the right attorney to drive the expansion of our practice there,” said Tom Wilson, chair of Dinsmore’s finance department. “We are thrilled to have him and to be able to further extend our reach and capabilities across the country.”
