With extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and tax issues, Vince Garozzo offers business-oriented solutions to clients in corporate transactions. His legal and business knowledge and leadership skills have earned the respect of clients as well as his colleagues — Vince is a former member of the Greensfelder Board of Directors and previously served as firm president.

Vince has represented clients in transactions throughout the United States and in several foreign countries, handling the financial, tax, accounting and business-law aspects of mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance transactions. He serves as general counsel and special transaction counsel for publicly traded and closely held business organizations.

In addition, Vince has significant experience in public-private partnership financing through the use of economic development tools and other public incentives, including Tax Increment Financing in real estate developments, together with Transportation Development Districts, Community Improvement Districts and Chapter 353 and Chapter 100 tax abatement for real estate and personal property.
