Overview:

In April 2019, the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) released its second set of new regulations on the Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program. The additional guidelines aim to give light on the initial regulations released last 2018.

However, several open questions still remain, that investors and related practitioners must be continuously proactive in monitoring the latest regulatory trends and development. Understanding the latest updates and how these might affect their businesses also will help them maximize opportunities while mitigating potential risks and pitfalls.

In this LIVE Webcast, real estate lawyer Matthew Schiller (Murphy Schiller & Wilkes LLP) and tax lawyer Katie Roskam (Varnum) will provide the audience with a comprehensive analysis of the significant updates in the new IRS regulations on Qualified Opportunity Zones. As experts, they will also provide best practices to avoid risks and challenges surrounding this significant topic in light of the most up-to-date developments.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

  • An Overview of the Qualified Opportunity Funds
  • Recent Regulatory Trends and Developments
  • Opportunities and Challenges
  • Practical Tips and Best Practices
