OVERVIEW

The scope and volume of Sean Honeywill’s experience, along with his tax and finance background, set him apart when it comes to efficiently structuring federal or state tax credit-related transactions for his clients.

Sean focuses on the representation of investors, syndicators, lenders, and developers of tax-incentivized private equity transactions, with a particular emphasis on federal and state tax credit investments.
