JONES DAY TALKS®: Real Assets Roundup Episode 3: One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3)



The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (or OB3) is overhauling policy for tax, real estate, energy and infrastructure investment. It brings changes to energy tax credits, on-shoring incentives, and real asset financing, creating new risks and opportunities for investors and developers.

In this “breaking news” edition of Jones Day’s “Real Assets Roundup” program, Jones Day partners Brian Sedlak, Sean Jackowitz, James Kinnebrew and Colleen Laduzinski talk about what to expect as a result of the OB3.

In the second in a series of Jones Day’s “Real Assets Roundup” programs, Jones Day partners Brian Sedlak, Marta Lahuerta Escolano, Melissa Vandewater, and Elizabeth Dominguez Yaeger talk about what’s driving this important transition.

Institutional investors are redefining investments in “hard assets,” such as real estate, energy, and infrastructure into a combined “real assets” category. This change is driven by numerous factors and presents significant opportunities and challenges, which will be examined by Jones Day partner Brian Sedlak and his colleagues from across the Firm in an extended series of Jones Day Talks programs. In this kickoff episode of “Real Assets Roundup,” Brian, along with partners Vica Irani and Kit Rockhill, discuss the new definition of “real assets” and talk about the issues, themes, and legal considerations to be addressed in subsequent programs.
