She has negotiated and restructured many academic affiliation agreements between universities and affiliated teaching hospitals.
Anne has participated in more than 300 tax-exempt and taxable financings. She was the author of the 2008 request to the SEC that resulted in a no action letter permitting tax-exempt borrowers to bid in their own auctions for auction rates securities, thereby providing an exit mechanism for clients caught in the collapse of the auction market.
