As the former city attorney for a major city, Susan Pease Langford understands the issues facing large cities in funding infrastructure improvements and other needs.

She has worked on large infrastructure and airport financings for cities and counties such as Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Jefferson County (Alabama). 

In the housing arena, Ms. Langford's experience extends to unusual issues in tax-credit transactions, such as property tax exemption issues for tax credit partnerships and the rescue and rehabilitation of affordable housing projects from bankruptcy proceedings.

Ms. Langford has served in several other federal and municipal positions such as City Attorney for the City of Atlanta, Director of the Mayor's Office of Contract Compliance, Director for the City of Atlanta Office of Olympic Coordination, and Trial Attorney with the National Labor Relations Board. She also has served in academic positions, including Bigelow Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law and Visiting Professor at the University of Akron School of Law.
