Kevin T.

Leftwich

Kevin is a commercial and tax attorney who draws on his experience in some of the nation’s top business and legal marketplaces to deliver effective, outcome-driven counsel to clients on a broad range of corporate, real estate, and tax matters. He works closely with owners and executives of privately held and family-owned and -operated businesses, as well as large, national, and multinational corporations with interests, investments, and operations in a wide range of industries.

Kevin recognizes that every business transaction has a tax component and that effective tax planning can have significant effects on business results, shareholder returns, and family and individual wealth. He works with clients at every step of the corporate life cycle — from business formation and launch through mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures to changes in control, business-succession planning, wealth transfers, and other exit strategies — helping clients clarify goals, develop effective short- and long-term legal and tax strategies, and execute business and tax-related decisions.

Kevin routinely negotiates, structures, and drafts complex merger and acquisition transactions, financings, and related contracts and agreements, and advises clients on tax structuring and compliance as well as tax-credit and tax-advantaged matters. In addition to his work on behalf of business owners and senior leadership, he has represented equity investors, lenders, community-development entities, developers, and other parties in historic tax credit, new markets tax credit, and opportunity zone transactions.
