Quarles & Brady LLP today announced that Frank DeGuire has rejoined the firm’s Milwaukee office as a partner in the firm’s Public Finance and Business Law Practice Groups.
“We are pleased to welcome Frank back to the firm,” said Rebecca Speckhard, Public Finance national chair. “As bond counsel, he has experience in working on financings for a diverse set of governmental entities. He has also gained extensive and broad experience in corporate and commercial law from serving as in-house counsel to closely held corporations.”
DeGuire will serve as a bond counsel on a wide variety of tax-exempt and taxable financings for the benefit of state and local governments and non-profit corporations, including conduit and qualified private activity bond financings.
“I look forward to rejoining Quarles & Brady and working with familiar and new faces on the Public Finance and Business Law teams,” said DeGuire. “My time as in-house counsel has given me great insight into what clients expect out of law firms and I’m excited to use that knowledge to best serve the firm and its clients.”
As a former general counsel for a diversified manufacturing company in Milwaukee, DeGuire provided legal and strategic advice to the CEO and the presidents of the company’s several operating divisions, and further advised on specific matters and risk assessment for the company’s initiatives.
DeGuire is a United States Navy veteran and is involved in many civic and charitable activities such as The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program, Hunger Task Force and Team Red White & Blue.
DeGuire holds an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Juris Doctor from Marquette University and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan.
