The ideal candidate will have two to six years of transactional experience involving Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The candidate will focus on the development and financing of affordable housing projects for community development and revitalization. The attorney's role would focus on helping investors and syndicators utilize multiple sources of financing, including tax credits and other government incentives, creating housing, aiding in commercial development, and revitalizing underserved communities across the country. Knowledge of real estate finance, government incentive programs, partnerships and limited liability companies, and an aptitude for analyzing financial projections all will allow the successful attorney to provide real value to our clients.

A career at Nixon Peabody is the opportunity to do work that matters. It's a chance to use your knowledge to shape what's ahead, to innovate, to learn at a firm that taps into the power of collaboration and collective thinking.
