Christopher McLoon advises clients in structuring business transactions to achieve optimal business and tax results. He strives to clearly and simply communicate solutions to complex issues, sensitive to the fact that few love tax law and policy as much as he does.

   

He has applied his understanding of tax law and policy to transactions involving small start-ups as well as those involving investments of hundreds of millions of dollars. These transactions span several industries, including timber, renewable energy, and real estate investment and development. He has assisted several funds, structuring investments to accommodate tax-exempt and foreign investors. Christopher also has rich experience structuring transactions to enable investors to benefit from incentives such as tax credits for investments in renewable energy, historic rehabilitation, low-income housing, and economically distressed communities. Finally, he has significant experience in structuring cross-border transactions.

 

Christopher also has vast experience in structuring the business aspects of partnership and limited liability company agreements. Among other things, Christopher has served as Co-Chair of drafting committees for Maine’s Revised Uniform Partnership Act, Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, and Limited Liability Company Act. He has authored several articles on the Maine LLC Act effective July 1, 2011.

 

While these accolades are a nice pat on the back, nothing satisfies Christopher more than knowing that he’s considered by a client as part of the team working toward an optimal business result.
