Mr. Rybacki has extensive experience representing issuers of tax-exempt and taxable bonds as bond counsel and representing underwriters, lenders, borrowers and trustees in debt transactions. He has served as bond counsel on general obligation bonds and notes, revenue bonds, refunding bonds, tax credit bonds, pension obligation bonds, state clean water fund financings, and conduit borrowings. He has also provided state and local tax planning and representation to diverse businesses and individuals, and has assisted a range of clients, from Fortune 500 corporations to start-ups.
"Glenn is one of the leading attorneys in the public finance sector in Connecticut and we are glad to have him on our team," said partner Scott Beach, chair of Day Pitney's Corporate and Business Law department. "His background and experience will further strengthen our municipal finance and tax practices."

The firm's municipal finance practice is headquartered in its Hartford, Connecticut office, and also has a New York presence. The practice involves eleven attorneys and a group of dedicated paralegals and specially trained finance secretaries. The firm has represented more than 100 agencies and governmental units as bond counsel in Connecticut, including the State of Connecticut, various state authorities, regional school districts, and towns and cities. The firm serves as Lead Bond Counsel and Lead Disclosure Counsel to the State of Connecticut on all general obligation bond issues.
In addition to serving as bond and disclosure counsel, the practice represents many underwriters, trustees, and borrowers in connection with tax-exempt and taxable state, authority and local government financings. The practice also includes advice in connection with distressed financings and municipal bond tax controversies.
