Zach Crowley
Partner

As leader of Clean Energy Counsel’s tax credit finance practice, Zach represents investors and developers of renewable energy projects through all stages of the project life cycle. From early-stage joint ventures, through M&A of development assets and eventually complex tax equity and transfer deals to finance tax credits, he understands how to get projects purchased, financed and built.

Prior to joining Clean Energy Counsel, Zach worked in the Energy and Infrastructure group of a major international law firm. There, his practice included representing major banks clients in their tax equity investments and early-stage energy and cleantech clients as they worked to secure funding.

Outside of his time at work, Zach enjoys running, surfing (terribly), photography, and cooking.
