New Markets Tax Credit

Consistent with its cutting edge focus and drive for value, the firm early on recognized an opportunity for the industry to take advantage of a unique program adpted by Congress ten years ago. The New Markets Tax Credit program promotes capital formation in low income communities, and provides banks with a unique and effective tool to drive value for their customers.

We initially represented a borrower seeking to use the to recapitalize their business and maintain jobs in a low-income community. Our involvement in transactions has since developed into a full NMTC practice. Our experience in corporate finance and tax was a natural fit with the NMTC program, and our relationships with financial institutions and business owners created opportunities for us to represent community development entities (CDE), one-day lenders, Qualified Active Low-Income Community Businesses (QALICB) and bank lenders involved in NMTC transactions.
