John Nicoll focuses his practice in the public finance space. Prior to joining the firm, John spent over a decade and a half in the financial services industry in both a buy-side and sell-side capacity. Most recently, he was a compliance and risk manager at an institutional broker-dealer responsible for managing a team and advising the firm on investment banking, syndication and secondary trading matters for multiple fixed-income products, with a particular focus on municipal securities activities. Through these experiences he is able to bring a unique perspective to clients and has an appreciation for the operational, compliance and risk considerations that impact both issuers and underwriters. This understanding allows him to deliver practical and thoughtful solutions to his clients. 

Originally from New York City, John moved to the Philadelphia area to attend law school at night while working full-time and currently resides in the area. While in law school he focused primarily on securities law and business organization, achieving a certification in these subjects from Widener University – Delaware Law School. 

In his free time, John is an avid sports fan (having played baseball in both High School and college) and you can usually find him in attendance at any number of sporting events.
