Hello — my name is Matt Jessup and I’m an attorney focusing almost exclusively on public finance transactions. I’ve been with McManimon & Scotland, L.L.C. for over 10 years, during which time I’ve participated in the issuance of hundreds of millions of dollars of bonds and notes for countless counties, municipalities and public authorities.

I enjoy my job most when I am presented with highly complex, difficult-to-solve municipal problems that require creative or cutting-edge financing techniques. My recent successes include the financing of a municipal justice complex through the issuance of government-subsidized Build America Bonds and the multi-issuer financing of the Bayonne Crossing Shopping Center through the issuance of payment-in-lieu-of tax bonds. My partners and I are proud to have contributed to the success of these projects by developing and implementing innovative finance strategies.

My expertise spans the arena of public finance, including general obligation and revenue obligations, public/private development financing and New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust financing. To learn more about my areas of expertise, please click here.

When I’m not in the office, I’m spending time with my wife and 3 kids or playing golf . . . lots of golf. To learn more about the out-of-office me, click here.
