Our professionals work closely with clients to create HTC transaction structures that comply with all technical tax requirements while being mindful of clients’ business and investment goals. We have the ability and experience to handle all aspects of an HTC deal, including transaction structuring and tax planning advice, document preparation and review, financial projection analysis, financing, real estate and corporate consultation, along with recognized capabilities in collateral areas such as environmental law and exempt organizations. Many of our HTC engagements involve complexities such as tax-exempt entity involvement, the utilization of multiple types of tax credits (e.g., federal historic tax credits, state historic tax credits and New Markets tax credits) and other forms of subsidy, such as tax increment financing, state, local and county government grants and other incentives. Therefore, our professionals have the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate these complexities and optimize results while meeting clients’ individualized needs.
