Overview

Raghav Agnihotri advises developers, sponsors, investors and financing parties on federal income tax matters that drive renewable and clean energy transactions. He helps clients structure and finance solar, wind, battery storage, renewable fuels, hydrogen, carbon capture and advanced manufacturing projects through development, financing, acquisition and operation, and aligns tax strategy with broader business objectives. Raghav's practice focuses on monetizing tax credits and incentives and structuring transactions to maximize their value.

Raghav counsels clients throughout the life cycle of clean energy projects and advises both buy-side and sell-side participants in tax credit transactions and investment structures. He also regularly structures and documents tax credit financings, including tax equity partnerships and debt arrangements, as well as project- and platform-level acquisitions.

Raghav drafts and negotiates tax provisions and credit risk allocation terms in project finance documents, joint ventures and other key project agreements affecting tax credit qualification, compliance and monetization. He also advises on tax diligence and credit eligibility, including beginning of construction and foreign entity of concern (FEOC) issues, helping clients assess the potential impact on project economics, timing and marketability.

Beyond his clean energy tax practice, Raghav counsels clients on domestic and cross-border tax matters, including international supply chain structuring, taxable and tax-free transactions, tax provisions in mergers and acquisitions, debt and capital markets transactions, tax diligence and tax opinions. He has also supported clients in tax controversy at both the administrative and litigation stages, including matters involving international reporting, Subpart F and transfer pricing valuation.

Before joining Holland & Knight, Raghav was an associate in the Ohio office of a national law firm.
