Bolden concentrates on public finance matters, including bond counsel, disclosure counsel and underwriters' counsel matters. In addition to public finance, Bolden practices in the corporate and securities area, including the merger and acquisition of publicly traded and privately held companies. He currently serves as trustee for the Dallas Bar Foundation and on the Council for the Business Law Section. Bolden has received presidential citations from the J.L. Turner Legal Association and the Dallas Bar Foundation. Bolden earned his A.B. in government from Dartmouth College and his J.D., magna cum laude, from Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Texas Southern University, where he was a member of the board of advocates.
"We're excited to welcome Bill and Steve to Bracewell," said K. Brock Bailey, managing partner of Bracewell's Dallas office.

On the national level, Bracewell ranked among the top 10 for disclosure counsel, bond counsel (negotiated offerings) and special tax counsel.
