Charlie assists clients in navigating public financing for their complex real estate development projects.
He serves on the firm’s national team representing clients in transactions utilizing federal and/or state New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC). His experience includes projects that utilize NMTC financing for the construction of factories, schools, senior care facilities, youth services facilities, grocery stores, hotels, mixed-use developments, and other commercial or industrial buildings in low-income communities.
In addition to NMTC transactions, Charlie has contributed to transactions that utilized Historic Tax Credits (HTC), Property Assessment Clean Energy (PACE), and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to finance their projects. He has also represented numerous clients by forming new entities and successfully obtaining federal and state tax-exempt status.
Charlie meets crucial deadlines while remaining adaptable to change during the life of a project. Clients appreciate his focus on both the business and legal details to move their projects forward. What he enjoys most about his work guiding the development of incentive and tax credit deals is reaching a common finish line for all the parties involved.
Prior to joining Husch Blackwell, Charlie began his legal career representing underwriters in municipal bond transactions.
