He holds a J.D. from Cornell Law School and an LL.M. in taxation from New York University School of Law. He is admitted to the bars of California and New York.

“Squire Patton Boggs has one of the largest, most diverse and highly regarded public finance practices in the U.S.,” Radigan said. “I’m delighted to join the team and work with my new colleagues across the country.”
