    Introduction

    Nick Anderson provides tax counsel to business entities, real estate developers, nonprofit organizations, lenders, and investors to structure and close business, finance, and real estate deals.

    Nick is admitted to practice in Colorado and Indiana. He is supervised by attorneys admitted to practice in the District of Columbia.

    My focus

    I have a strong background in general corporate, federal tax, real estate, and financing legal matters, which allows me to focus my practice on understanding the goals and objectives of my clients in order to pursue applicable development incentives that they might not have considered otherwise. These opportunities frequently layer federal and state tax credits, state and federal grant programs, and other specialty financings to provide maximum financial benefits. With a deep understanding of tax credit transactions, I help clients take advantage of opportunities ranging from simple to extremely complex incentives and programs.

    My broad-based tax experience includes corporate and partnership tax planning, taxation of financial products, private equity, lease financing, public finance and tax-exempt bonds, real estate, and exempt organizations. Additionally, I assist nonprofit organizations in receiving their tax-exempt status and advise them on governance and compliance matters.

    Looking ahead

    I am excited to see the broad impacts that should come with investments in renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies alongside affordable housing and businesses in overlooked communities.
