    New Markets Tax Credits

    Nixon Peabody sets the standard for new markets tax credits, partnering with clients to finance projects that revitalize urban and rural areas.

    Overview

    Nixon Peabody has been involved with the new markets tax credit program since its inception in 2000, closing one of the first transactions ever under the program.

    As one of the most active law firms in the sector, we bring deep tax, legal, and financial knowledge to clients of all sizes. Our clients range from small businesses seeking funding (QALICBs) to Community Development Entities (CDEs) to FORTUNE 100 corporations in connection with direct and secondary investments generating tax credits.
