• Monitor legislative changes, such as updates to the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury guidance, and proactively advise on strategic adjustments.
• Collaborate seamlessly with multidisciplinary teams, including accountants, engineers, and executives, to resolve legal-tax hurdles.
• Develop proactive strategies to leverage incentives like the Section 48E clean electricity ITC while mitigating risks.
• Oversee all legal documentation, ensuring precision, enforceability, and alignment with client objectives.
