Nixon Peabody LLP elected three partners to its Tax Credit Finance & Syndication practice. The new partners are Nathan Bernard, Christopher Perkowski, and Katie Tenney.
Nathan Bernard advises clients in low-income housing (LIHTC) and new markets (NMTC) tax credits matters. Many of Nate’s transactions combine multiple, complex tax credits. He structures deals by using several sources of financing, including HOME loans, HUD financing and tax-exempt bonds. Nate oversees NP’s Northeastern Law School Co-Op program.
Christopher Perkowski serves as co-leader of the group’s new markets tax credit team and manages transactions for major firm clients focused on NMTC and community development financing. He’s represented key players at every level of NMTC transactions to develop projects like charter schools, health care facilities, grocery stores and mixed-use developments in underserved communities across the country.
Katie Tenney focuses on low-income housing tax credit transactions. As co-leader of the firm’s LITHC team, she represents many of the most active investors in the LIHTC market. She works on complex affordable housing deals that combine various tax incentives with multiple sources of financing such as FHA loans and tax-exempt bonds. She has also worked on projects employing state credits, historic credits and renewable energy credits.
