Akin is a premier firm for tax structuring and equity financing. We assist clients across industries on projects that require sophisticated tax structuring and equity finance advice, including as related to tax-equity bridge loans and back-leverage term debt. More than ever, tax structuring and equity financing are integral to financing complex projects. In addition, the governments’ heightened focus on tax credits brings to bear a host of legal and regulatory considerations for developers.

We have deep experience, across all asset classes, advising on the development, acquisition and tax equity financing of renewable energy projects.

We have vast experience in the tax incentives available for renewable energy projects and related requirements, including Production Tax Credits (PTC), Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and the U.S. Treasury Grant.

In addition, we have experience in closed and funded investments supporting myriad renewable energy technologies, including large and small utility-scale solar and wind projects, large and small residential solar portfolios, batteries, carbon capture and storage, community solar projects, commercial and industrial (C&I) solar, geothermal and biomass projects.
