Job Description

Affordable Housing / LIHTC Attorney (Remote)

Overview
Several established law firms with active and growing affordable housing practices are seeking an attorney with meaningful Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) experience to join their teams. These roles are fully remote and offer the opportunity to work on sophisticated transactions supporting the development of affordable housing across California.

These practices represent nonprofit developers, community organizations, and mission-driven sponsors working to expand housing access in complex regulatory and financing environments. Attorneys in these roles are deeply involved in structuring transactions and guiding projects from acquisition through closing.

Responsibilities

• Advise nonprofit developers and housing sponsors on affordable housing development and financing transactions
• Structure and negotiate LIHTC transactions, including tax credit syndications and partnership arrangements
• Draft and review purchase agreements, ground leases, development agreements, and related project documentation
• Coordinate transactions involving lenders, governmental agencies, and tax credit investors
• Manage transactions from initial structuring through closing while maintaining direct client relationships
• Work collaboratively with project coordinators and development teams to keep transactions moving efficiently

What Makes These Roles Stand Out

• Mission-Driven Clients
• Represent nonprofit developers and community organizations developing affordable housing across California.
• Complex Transactions
• Work on acquisitions, ground leases, financing structures, and LIHTC syndications involving lenders, governmental agencies, and tax credit investors.
• Remote Flexibility
• Distributed teams with the option to work fully remote while maintaining active deal involvement.
• Hands-On Responsibility
• Attorneys lead transactions, work directly with clients, and guide project coordinators rather than sitting in a narrow support role.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school
• Active California Bar license required, or willingness to obtain admission with firm support
• 5+ years of experience working on LIHTC and affordable housing finance transactions
• Strong drafting and transactional skills with the ability to manage multiple active matters
• Comfort working directly with clients and coordinating multi-party transactions
• Interest in working with nonprofit and mission-driven housing developers

Compensation
