Joseph P. McCarthy

Joe McCarthy of Stoel Rives combines a deep understanding of real estate, partnership and tax law with more than 30 years’ experience on complex projects to offer intelligent, practical advice to his clients. He is a trusted advisor on the development, financing and operation of affordable, condominium, mixed-use, multifamily and planned community projects.

McCarthy has assisted in the development and financing of more than 10,000 units of affordable rental and ownership housing involving low-income housing, historic and energy tax credits, tax-exempt bonds, HUD programs, and other federal, state and local funding programs.

McCarthy is one of the leading condominium attorneys in the Pacific Northwest. His experience includes creating common interest ownership regimes, complying with state and federal sales regulations, and creating marketing, sale and warranty programs. He has been intimately involved in the drafting of condominium and warranty legislation in the state of Washington for over a decade and chaired the committee that drafted the 2018 Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act.

McCarthy is the chair of Stoel Rives’ real estate, development and construction group. Prior to joining Stoel Rives, he was a founding partner of Kantor, Taylor, McCarthy & Britzmann, and an associate and partner at Reed McClure.

These are some of the reasons that we named McCarthy to our Seattle & Pacific Northwest grouping of Lawyers in Real Estate. These are real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in both their practice and the larger community.
