Warner Norcross + Judd LLP represented The International Pentecostal Holiness Church Extension Loan Fund, Inc. (IPHC ELF) in the offering of up to $65 million of savings certificates and fixed rate certificates for the 2023-2024 offering period.

All of us at the Extension Loan Fund have come to view our Warner colleagues as trusted advisors, who are seamlessly integrated into our processes. Throughout the offering, John Muhs and his team kept us informed with proactive communication and showed sharp judgment based on our goals and knowledge of the industry and regulatory landscape.”
