Zones d'opportunité
Promulguées dans le cadre de la loi Tax Cuts and Jobs Act de 2017, les Opportunity Zones ont été conçues pour offrir d'importants avantages fiscaux afin d'encourager les investissements à long terme dans les communautés économiquement défavorisées. Des zones d'opportunités ont été désignées dans les 50 États, le district de Columbia et cinq possessions américaines. L'équipe "Opportunity Zone" de Foley est bien placée pour conseiller les investisseurs, les sponsors de fonds, les développeurs, les chefs d'entreprise et les municipalités sur la manière de tirer parti de ces avantages.
We have been active in advising clients interested in Opportunity Zones as well as advocating for legislative and regulatory attention, including meeting with high-level federal government officials tasked with rolling out the Opportunity Zone program. We are also working with state government officials interested in pairing state incentives to maximize investment interest. Foley’s fund sponsor-clients rely on our Opportunity Zone Team to help them navigate the complex tax and structuring issues in launching a qualified opportunity fund.
Our team has been actively participating in Opportunity Zones events and speaking engagements, and launched an Opportunity Zone initiative that includes a working group that connects and provides resources to those interested in Opportunity Zones. In February of 2019, our firm hosted, “Foley & Lardner’s Investment Summit: Opportunity Zones Massachusetts,” the first of a series of events and webinars focused on Opportunity Zones.
