Commitment to Clients and Communities
I am a member of the firm’s Tax team, focusing on representing investors, syndicators, and developers in connection with projects financed with low-income housing tax credits. I have experience in the taxation of partnerships, non-profit organizations, LLCs, and corporations, as well as tax issues relating to federal and state low-income housing, historic rehabilitation, and renewable energy tax credits.
Career Overview
Prior to joining the firm, I spent several years managing client relationships as lead equity attorney on transactions, including negotiating operating agreements, purchase agreements, construction contracts, loan documents, power purchase agreements, and procurement contracts. I represented syndicators with respect to upper-tier equity investments, including drafting subscription documents and private offering memoranda for equity investments in multi-investor funds and project-level investments. Toward the end of the project cycle, I have been involved with the disposition, restructuring, and recapitalization of distressed tax credit properties.
I also have experience structuring utility-grade and rooftop solar transactions utilizing federal investment tax credits, state tax credits, and federal energy grants, as well as experience with employment tax matters, intercompany tax allocation, and financial reporting.
