Dan Kolodner, a Partner at Klein Hornig, focuses his practice on community development projects utilizing tax credit financing. He specializes in complex deal structuring, combining tax incentives – such as New Markets Tax Credits, Historic Tax Credits, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and Renewable Energy Tax Credits – with state tax credits and other financing sources in a variety of community development transactions. He regularly represents both for-profit and nonprofit developers, qualified active low-income community businesses (QALICBs), and community development entities (CDEs), as well as institutional tax credit investors. Dan regularly shares his expertise at conferences on both the national and local level, speaking on the topics of Historic Tax Credits, New Markets Tax Credits, and other Federal and state tax incentives.

In 2014 Dan was awarded the Paul E. Tsongas Award by Preservation Massachusetts for his work on historic tax credit projects across Massachusetts. The Paul E. Tsongas Award is given annually and honors “those who have played an extraordinary role in promoting historic preservation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”

Dan was also recently recognized by The National Law Journal as a “Boston Rising Star”. The Boston Rising Stars are selected as the region’s 40 most promising lawyers under age 40 who have “wielded influence in their practice areas, demonstrated strong leadership qualities, developed unique practice niches, showed expertise in litigation or transaction work, and committed themselves to pro bono work.” Dan was honored for his community development legal practice and his pro bono work.

Before joining Klein Hornig, Dan was an attorney in the Syndication Department at Nixon Peabody, where he focused his practice on community development finance.
