    Introduction

    My focus

    My practice primarily consists of advising institutional investors, syndicators and developers in a range of direct tax credit investments and fund formation matters, particularly those involving low income housing tax credits (LIHTC) and historic tax credits (HTC).  I also have significant experience representing investors, developers and lenders in a wide variety of traditional real estate investment and lending transactions.
