I practice at the intersection of banking, tax and real estate, most often in transactions where banks are equity investors in projects supported by Federal and state low income housing, new markets and/or historic rehabilitation tax credits. I also represent community banks in a wide array of regulatory, merger & acquisition and capital markets activities.
