• Review and negotiate transaction documents, including purchase agreements, operating agreements, financing documents, and tax-related provisions.
• Partner closely with development, finance, accounting, and commercial teams to support project execution.
• Analyze new legislation, Treasury guidance, and IRS regulations impacting renewable energy incentives and communicate business implications.
• Support due diligence for acquisitions and project financings, identifying tax risks and recommending practical solutions.
• Coordinate with outside counsel, accounting firms, and financial advisors on complex tax matters.
• Assist with tax planning initiatives designed to maximize available federal and state incentives.
