Gabriel Grossman

Gabe has a wide-ranging finance and structuring tax practice with a particular focus on the tax issues faced by renewable energy developers/sponsors (including structuring for U.S. tax credits), financial institutions, alternative investment funds and institutional investors. He has extensive experience advising clients on tax and structuring issues arising from complex partnership and lease structures, financing transactions, tax-credit investments (ITC/PTC/45Q), risk transfer transactions, and securitizations. Recently, Gabe has spent significant time advising clients on the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on energy transition matters. 

In addition, Gabe has advised on a variety of cross-border investments including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, restructurings (both in bankruptcy and out of court restructurings), and reorganizations. Gabe also has experience working for fund sponsors on fund formation, restructuring and financing transactions. Gabe’s diverse experience gives him unique perspective on the tax issues his clients face, working to develop commercial solutions.

Gabe spent over 3 years in the role of tax structuring counsel at an alternative investment advisor focused on distressed debt opportunities. In that role he advised broadly on tax matters involved in the negotiation of offering documents, response to investor tax queries, structuring and restructuring of portfolio investments, and optimization of tax structuring for fund and family office investments.
