Sean focuses on banking and finance law. After working as a Certified Public Accountant, Sean transitioned to law in order to advise business clients in a more dynamic setting. His background in accounting gives him a distinct perspective on the tax implications of transactions and business decisions, offering clients insight into potential adverse tax consequences.

Sean was drawn to financial law thanks to his CPA experience and a heavy transactional course load in law school. As a summer associate at the firm, he worked primarily with the Banking & Finance team, drafting and reviewing financing documents. Today, he partners with clients, assisting businesses in obtaining financing and proactively structuring their operations to avoid future tax complications.

Lately, elected representatives on both sides of the aisle have been displaying an appetite for expanding transferable tax credits to a broader variety of industries. This is evidenced by the recent profusion of proposed legislation that endeavors to subsidize emerging or important technologies with such valuable, transferable credits. This glut of proposed legislation—and the significant opportunities it may afford to the savvy buyer or seller—only promises to increase in importance with federal tax reform on the horizon.
