Overview

With a lifelong interest in tax matters, Jason has practiced exclusively in tax law for 20 years.

Jason has an extensive background in transactions that produce federal and state tax credits, with an emphasis on renewable energy, new market, affordable housing and historic tax credits. Jason represents investors throughout the tax credit investment process, working to shepherd clients through the tax structure as capital is deployed. With a focus on practicality, he’s known among clients as an attorney who understands not only the tax law but also their unique business aims.

Jason’s only passion isn’t tax law: he’s equally passionate about clients’ final projects. He views his job as helping people build projects that benefit the larger community and the next generation—whether that’s a solar project, the restoration of a historic building or the revitalization of a struggling area. Clients value Jason’s dedication to maximizing not just tax credits but a project’s impact.

In addition to his tax credit work, Jason also provides guidance on the tax aspects of real estate financings, mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity offerings and restructurings, fund formations, and financing structures.
