Dallas / Houston / krcl.comCommunity Development and Tax Credit FinanceThe Community Development and Tax Credit Finance team within our Business TransactionsPractice Group integrates the corporate, finance, public sector, energy and natural resources,and tax expertise that is needed to structure and execute financings and investments acrossmultiple assets classes, transaction types, and engagements involving a client’s use of one ormore of the myriad economic incentive programs and tools that are available for certaintransactions or offerings. Our team seeks to collaborate with our clients to formulate anoptimized approach to the integration of incentive programs to enhance the leverage theycan provide to our clients, their projects, and the sourcing of or investment of their capital. The universe of government-supported financing tools, including credit enhancements, taxcredits, grants, both federal and state, is truly vast, and in a nearly constant state of change.As soon as one program appears at the federal or state level, another can fall away orbecome underfunded or entirely unfunded. As such, we remain current on those publicfinancing tools most often employed by our clients, as well as those that emerge and havestaying power. Programs with respect to which we have provided guidance include state and federal taxcredits (including new markets, historic rehabilitation, renewable energy, and low-incomehousing), various Small Business Association financing programs and small businessinvestment company formation and approvals, conservation easements, CommunityReinvestment Act compliance, Opportunity Zone formation and financings, the USCIS EB-5immigrant investor program, along with many other incentive or benefit programs that arepublicly supported. In carrying out our work, attorneys on our Finance team have worked with tax creditinvestors, mainstream and non-bank lenders, developers, nonprofit organizations, communitydevelopment entities, municipal governments, economic development agencies, syndicatorsand qualified businesses both within the United States and, to date, with clients andprograms 23 other countries.

Our team is organizedin a way that can identify and leverage the benefits of state and federal programs, while alsoavoiding, as best as possible, disruption within a client’s existing or planned business, itsexisting capital and financing source. Public-private partnerships can be highly compatible, orincompatible, with a client and its current or future interests. Being able to evaluate theviability of such arrangements is work that we value, and a value we seek to deliver to andfor our clients. As a group, those within our firm who are involved in tax credit and similar financings, alsohave practical experience, having been principals in companies or investment funds thatleveraged the same credit enhancements and tax incentives used by many of our clients.

Kane Russell Coleman Logan PC Thomas G. Ciarlone Jr. Director direct 713.425.7428 main 713.425.7400 fax 713.425.7700 tciarlone@krcl.com With over two decades of general commercial litigation experience in trial and appellate courts across the country, Tom focuses on large, complex, and high-stakes cases. Although his broad practice encompasses nearly all forms of contentious business disputes, Tom frequently advocates on behalf of operators and service companies in oil-and-gas litigation. When royalties and other mineral interests are hotly contested, Tom is known for his thoughtful treatment—in the courtroom and on the papers—of the many intricacies that drive title controversies and deed-construction cases to successful conclusions. He represents clients in matters involving allegations of the underpayment and miscalculation of royalties; violations of continuous drilling and development obligations; and improper deductions for transportation, processing, and other post-production expenses. His diverse industry background also includes advising E&Ps and pipeline companies in mineral trespass and surface-use disputes, and in related proceedings for emergency and preliminary injunctive relief. In addition, Tom often assists operators and oilfield service providers navigate disputes surrounding the breach of supply, service, and confidentiality agreements and the theft and misappropriation of trade secrets. When mineral owners are impossible to find, or when they finally emerge after long absences, he helps oil-and-gas companies establish, administer, and wind down mineral receiverships to ensure that time-sensitive operations are never impeded by missing or emerging interest owners. And, in the event business relationships sour, Tom has earned a reputation for diplomatically—and, when push comes to shove, aggressively—resolving disagreements among joint interest partners and other collaborators in the oil patch.

Kane Russell Coleman Logan PC Tom brings to his practice both broad and deep practical experience in the energy sector, which encompasses helping clients with title issues, seismic-related disputes, drilling operations and surface damages, royalty underpayments, offset drilling and development, bad-faith pooling, cessation of production, and lease termination. Beyond oil and gas, Tom has played a significant role in litigating and ultimately settling many nationwide class actions, including matters involving allegations of securities and consumer fraud at Big Four auditing and accounting firms and at a wide range of prominent publicly traded companies. He previously worked at a large New England law firm and a New York class-action boutique, where he gained a wealth of courtroom experience and faced off against tenacious litigators from some of the largest and best-known firms in the country. Always operating with an eye toward the business objectives of his clients and their bottom lines, Tom makes it a top priority to formulate creative, cost-effective strategies for defusing his clients’ legal problems outside the courtroom. In this way, he helps his clients avoid or abbreviate litigation, conserve resources, and preserve valuable business relationships. Tom and his team are frequently told by judges, opposing counsel, and colleagues that their brief writing skills are exceptional, and Tom believes that they rank among those of the very best appellate practices in the country. Every week, you can listen to Tom’s podcast, available at www.energylawroundup.com, which is devoted exclusively to breaking legal news and developments in the energy industry. Away from the Office Outside of his practice, Tom reads extensively and stays in shape by running and playing tennis. He’s also busy keeping up with his three kids and their activities.
