In the first session of A New Day, Foley Partner Peter J. Elias moderated a discussion on Important Tax Developments Impacting Real Estate Capital Markets Participants. Panelists included Foley Partner Kenneth R. Appleby and UBS Director & Federal Affairs Manager Peter Rowan in a discussion of important new tax developments that impact real estate funds, sponsors, REITs and other market participants including:

Our panel explored this important proposal and provide insights on its status and strategies for anticipating this legislation.
- A discussion of important tax issues, and hidden traps and strategies, for distressed debt funds.
- Other legislative issues: Tax planning and structuring for anticipated new tax rates, including potentially higher rates applicable to long-term capital gains, and status of the estate tax.
