Aly Newton

Aly Newton advises syndicators and equity investors in connection with investments for the development and financing of affordable housing and community development transactions, helping clients bring complex, tax credit-financed projects to closing. Based in Boston, she is a member of Holland & Knight's Tax Credit & Community Development Finance Practice, where her business and tax law work centers on transactions financed by the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). Ms. Newton also has experience representing institutional lenders, housing authorities, local community development corporations, and for-profit and nonprofit developers engaged in closing LIHTC transactions, New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transactions and multifamily construction loans.

Aly's familiarity with this practice predates her time as an attorney. She spent more than two years as a paralegal and an additional three years as a law clerk in the Boston LIHTC community, including with the Firm's Tax Credit & Community Development Finance Practice, gaining early exposure to the multifaceted structuring that drives the success of these transactions.

Her commitment to community development extends beyond her work with Holland & Knight. During law school, Aly volunteered with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) that provides pro bono tax assistance to low-income Boston residents and regularly participated in local town meetings and zoning board hearings focused on LIHTC projects. This perspective informs her work on transactions designed to expand quality affordable housing and investment in the communities these programs serve in the Commonwealth and around the country.
