Julie Marion, an accomplished veteran in the legal field, recently made the transition from KPMG to join Sheppard Mullin, a reputable law firm. As a partner, she’s now part of both the energy, infrastructure, and project finance team, and the tax, employee benefits, and trusts and estates practice group based in Chicago. This information was relayed directly from the law firm earlier this week. Sheppard Mullin has expressed excitement in leveraging Julie’s vast experience in federal income tax, particularly in the structure of renewable energy projects.
Marion’s significant range of expertise extends from understanding credit qualification, front-end project financing to the monetization of federal tax credits.
