Michael Schierl and his seasoned team of attorneys and consultants have provided expert and creative service in helping us complete a variety of financing transactions, including (i) several taxable and tax-exempt bond financing transactions, (ii) structuring, forming and obtaining IRS tax-exempt status for our Catholic Foundation of the Archdiocese of Dubuque and (iii) structuring and forming our Alternatives Fund, LP which operates as a component of our existing Archdiocesan endowment. We rely on Julius Capital and ImmacuLaw for quick and creative responses to a wide range of financial issues as they arise, such their
recent assistance in preparing a summary of the Paycheck Protection Program that I shared with all of our Parishes in order to enable them to quickly take advantage of that program.

Michael Schierl and his team bring together legal and financial expertise, an understanding of canon law and a practical knowledge of how the church operates, in order to provide the Archdiocese of Dubuque with solid and creative financial solutions to our ever-changing needs. I would heartily recommend Julius Capital and ImmacuLaw to each of my fellow Finance Officers.”
