  I am a partner at one of the nation’s largest law firms and serve as co-chair of the firm’s tax credit finance group. I regularly advise new market tax credit (NMTC) participants in NMTC transactions, and also have significant experience with historic tax credits and low-income housing tax credits. My vast experience means that I can efficiently assist clients without reinventing the wheel. I am an active participant in various educational and industry programs, speaking and teaching at such programs throughout the year. I am also a member of the NMTC working group, working to resolve technical regulatory and administrative NMTC program issues.I also have significant experience in all matters related to partnerships and limited liability companies, including use, formation, operation, and tax. My engagements include small, regional venture capital funds, large strategic joint ventures and multi-billion dollar international real estate funds. I am unique in the legal industry in that I have personally developed, owned, and managed a number of real estate projects. I also served as interim President and CEO of a distressed hospitality venture, successfully navigating the failing company from the red back into to the black. Finally, I managed a friends and family hedge fund and successfully executed several complex derivatives trades in the midst of the tech bubble burst. As such, I bring a unique perspective to my practice that enables me to approach transactions not only from a legal mindset, but from a practical business standpoint as well.
