Abbegael Smith

Abbegael focuses her practice on affordable housing, real estate, and corporate matters. She advises developers, owners, investors, and public agencies through the full life cycle of multifamily housing: acquisition, financing, recapitalization, and disposition. These transactions often combine LIHTCs, tax-exempt bonds, and federal, state, and local subsidies.

Abbegael helps clients buy and sell properties and ownership interests... and secure debt and equity financing. Her corporate work includes structuring and restructuring the entities behind clients' portfolios, from ownership transfers and governance amendments to investor exits and portfolio securitizations. She works closely with housing finance agencies across multiple states to keep transactions moving.
