Inflation Reduction Act Resource Center

Scope, Objectives, and Legal Impact

The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted in 2022 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and strengthen domestic manufacturing.
It spans more than 700 pages of statutory text and introduces over $370 billion in new spending and tax incentives.
Its focus areas include clean energy generation, electric vehicles, carbon capture, energy efficiency, and environmental justice initiatives.

The IRA not only modifies federal tax codes but also expands grant and loan programs across the Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Treasury Department.

Maximizing Value Through Strategic Structuring

One of the most transformative features of the Inflation Reduction Act is its suite of tax incentives.
Our lawyers assist clients in identifying, claiming, and monetizing credits available for clean energy production, carbon capture, sustainable construction, and manufacturing.

We provide comprehensive guidance on transferability, direct pay options, and compliance documentation required by the IRS and Treasury Department.

We also structure transactions to combine IRA credits with other federal, state, and municipal incentive programs.

Empowering Renewable Development Across Sectors

The Inflation Reduction Act has spurred record investment in solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal, and nuclear energy projects.
We counsel developers, investors, utilities, and lenders on project structuring, permitting, and risk mitigation.
Our attorneys advise on power purchase agreements (PPAs), tax equity partnerships, and environmental impact compliance under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

We also represent clients before federal and state agencies to secure funding, approvals, and regulatory clearance.

Driving Domestic Production and Economic Resilience

The Inflation Reduction Act incentivizes the reshoring of supply chains critical to energy and technology manufacturing.
Through advanced manufacturing tax credits and direct investment support, the law aims to reduce dependence on foreign materials while fostering U.S.-based innovation.

SJKP LLP advises manufacturers, investors, and suppliers on eligibility, compliance, and financing for IRA-supported facilities, including battery plants, solar module factories, and semiconductor component producers.

Building Sustainable Assets Through Strategic Planning

Real estate developers and investors stand to benefit significantly from the Inflation Reduction Act’s emphasis on sustainable construction and energy efficiency.
We advise clients on using IRA credits for commercial real estate retrofits, low-income housing projects, and green building certification.
Our team also supports public-private partnerships developing renewable energy and infrastructure assets.

We help clients align their real estate investment and financing strategies with the law’s environmental and social goals.

Advancing Equity and Community-Based Investment

The Inflation Reduction Act allocates billions toward environmental justice, community resilience, and pollution reduction.
We assist public agencies, nonprofits, and private sponsors in accessing programs designed to benefit historically disadvantaged communities.
Our lawyers provide guidance on grant eligibility, compliance with Justice40 principles, and coordination with EPA and DOE initiatives.

We ensure that investments are not only legally compliant but socially responsible and measurable in impact.

Integrating Sustainability Into Capital Markets

The Inflation Reduction Act has accelerated the convergence of sustainability and finance.
Our Inflation Reduction Act Resource Center works with banks, private equity funds, and institutional investors to design ESG-aligned investment vehicles.
 

We advise on green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and blended finance models that integrate IRA incentives with private capital.

We also support investors in meeting evolving disclosure and reporting standards under the SEC and international frameworks.

Building a Skilled, Sustainable Workforce

Workforce development is a cornerstone of the Inflation Reduction Act, which ties many tax incentives to prevailing wage and apprenticeship standards.
We help employers and developers interpret these requirements and design compliant labor strategies.
Our team also assists unions, contractors, and energy firms in negotiating workforce agreements that align with federal guidelines and local economic development goals.

Mitigating Legal Exposure and Safeguarding Investments

As regulatory agencies increase oversight, compliance with the Inflation Reduction Act has become essential.
We counsel clients on audit readiness, disclosure obligations, and enforcement defense related to tax credit claims and funding use.
Our lawyers also represent clients in investigations by the IRS, DOE, and Treasury concerning eligibility, fraud, or misrepresentation issues.

Through proactive risk assessment and internal controls, we help clients maintain compliance and preserve credibility.
