Our tax litigation lawyers are recognized for their exceptional track record, including landmark victories in movie industry participations cases and in sustaining offshore captive insurance companies.

Our private wealth practice lawyers arrange the affairs of large, privately held enterprises and estates, ranging from wealth transfer and multigenerational planning to corporate recapitalizations, and the counseling of hundreds of charitable foundations and trusts.

Orrick is a market leader in all types of tax-equity financings, including partnership flips, inverted leases and sale leasebacks, and has successfully closed 30+ tax equity deals over the past 24 months. We have worked on matters involving almost all tax equity investors in the market, and regularly work with their counsel to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes. In 2020, we partnered with a key client in one of the largest tax equity portfolio financings ever publicly recorded and named North American Renewables Tax Equity Deal of the Year by IJ Global.

We also have extensive experience working with sponsors to structure project acquisitions, joint ventures and equipment procurement strategies to confirm that projects will qualify for the maximum available tax benefits.
