Nixon Peabody promotes Terance Walsh to partner

Nixon Peabody attorney Terance Walsh was promoted to partner in the firm's public finance practice.

Walsh works on deals for conduit issuers and municipal utilities out of Nixon Peabody's Rochester, New York, office. He joined Nixon Peabody in 2016 and was one of 12 Nixon Peabody attorneys to be promoted to partner on Monday.

Walsh works on tax-exempt bond and leaseback transactions, representing industrial development authorities, local development corporations and municipal utilities. He also has experience advising on electric and gas prepay transactions, according to a Nixon Peabody press release.

"I love working on those deals, because they're important deals for the communities where the projects take place," Walsh said.

So far, Walsh said, being a partner "hasn't been too different" from being a counsel. "The day-to-day remains the same," he said.

Walsh was a member of the Bond Buyer's 2025 Rising Stars class. He said at the time he felt supported by Nixon Peabody and was "always being pushed in the right direction."

"I never really considered practicing elsewhere. I always felt that this was a great place to make a career," Walsh said on Tuesday. "As a partner, I feel a responsibility to continue that level of support and development. So associates coming up now in our group feel that same thing that I felt when I started here."

In the months ahead, Walsh said he's looking forward to deals for senior housing startups and affordable housing and continuing his work on gas and electric prepay transactions.
