The firm specializes in various practice areas, including real estate development, affordable housing, civil litigation, healthcare, employment law, corporate law, renewable energy, and tax-driven transactions. The Senior Tax Attorney will provide tax structuring advice to transactional clients, collaborating closely with colleagues across the firm.
The role involves advising on a broad range of transactions, such as real estate development, investment fund formation, real estate debt and equity financing, venture capital investing, and mergers and acquisitions. Experience with tax-sensitive real estate investments, including renewable energy tax credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Opportunity Zone funds, historic tax credits, and new markets tax credits, is highly valued. The attorney will also provide guidance on general corporate and partnership planning, encompassing small business succession, employee equity participation, joint venture arrangements, shareholder agreements, and the allocation of profits and losses.

A minimum of 8 years of experience in tax planning, structuring of business transactions, and mergers and acquisitions is required.

The firm offers a hybrid work environment, with a current policy of three days per week in the office, though they are open to a more flexible schedule. Depending on physical distance, the right candidate may work more remotely, provided they are prepared to meet with clients and colleagues face-to-face and spend time in the office as needed.
