About Mrs. Taylor Klavan

Taylor Klavan focuses her practice on tax issues relating to public finance. She provides guidance as tax counsel on virtually all types of tax-advantaged state and local debt, including governmental financings, financings for 501(c)(3) organizations, financings in the airport and transportation sector, affordable housing facilities financings, and financings for solid waste disposal facilities and sewage facilities for large utilities and industrial operations. She collaborates with investment banker clients to develop innovative, tax-compliant strategies for structuring and marketing tax-exempt transactions, seeking to ensure that deals comply with the federal tax requirements while also helping stakeholders pursue their end-goals.

Taylor also has considerable experience with post-issuance compliance for tax-advantaged bonds, including private business use and private payment analyses, arbitrage issues in new money issuances, refunding and multipurpose bond issues, multipurpose issue allocations, and compliance with remedial action regulations. She frequently interacts with the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of clients in voluntary closing agreement program requests, audits of tax-exempt finance transactions, and private letter ruling requests.
