In my career I’ve touched on all aspects of the energy transactional spectrum. The experiences I have in one sector help me solve problems in others. In my view, the more diverse your practice is, the more you can bring to the table for your client.

Renewable projects and business models involve complex technologies, counter-parties, and tax structures. I provide tax counsel on both the tax equity and project developer side to help clients navigate these challenges. I particularly enjoy working closely with my clients to adapt traditional project development and finance methods to suit their unique business models and close on their financing transactions.

I love the intricacy of the tax code, and the fact that everything I do is like a little puzzle. I take the facts and I take the law and I say, 'How do I fit these together to get the best result for the client?' It can be challenging, but it’s always interesting. I’m helping people get the business deals that they want done in a timely, effective and efficient manner.

While our primary goal is effectively representing our client, structuring financing for a renewable energy project requires a consideration of everyone’s objectives. Regardless of the form of investment, successful project financings are essentially partnerships that must deliver value to all involved.

Clients appreciate that I provide a broader prospective when delivering advice, having spent over 20 years in renewable energy doing everything from working in an in-house capacity, to serving in a senior business role, to leading renewable energy and infrastructure practice groups at major law firms.
