Stock and Leader has a long history of representing political subdivisions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. For over 50 years, we have successfully represented municipalities, authorities, school districts, and counties, as both solicitor and special counsel. We have one of the largest municipal and school practices in the Commonwealth. As a natural compliment, Stock and Leader has been serving as bond counsel to municipalities and authorities since 1968 when Henry Leader issued his first Bond Counsel opinion. Since then, we have expanded our municipal finance practice, and our broad experience and knowledge ensures that our clients receive the premiere representation they deserve.
Stock and Leader is listed in the "Bond Buyer" as a nationally-recognized bond counsel. Our practitioners are members of the National Association of Bond Lawyers and the Pennsylvania Association of Bond Lawyers.
