Opportunity Zones

Created in 2017 to spur and sustain economic development in targeted areas across the country, the Opportunity Zone program offers private investors a potentially lucrative means of deferring the tax recognition of certain appreciated assets by investing those gains in certified Qualified Opportunity Funds. But achieving the desired result of an Opportunity Zone investment requires both a holistic understanding of the program and the careful attention to detail that can ensure compliance with the law’s many nuanced requirements.

Leveraging the interdisciplinary talents of the firm’s real estate, tax and finance attorneys, we provide strategy and guidance designed to advance the interests of our clients and maximize the benefits they receive from their Opportunity Zone investments. From fund creation, operation and compliance to financing to deployment of assets, our seasoned attorneys assist individual and institutional investors with every aspect of Opportunity Zone participation.
