It has been a privilege to partner with Monarch in the past as an external resource, and I’m already enjoying the opportunity to be directly involved with the tremendous impact the firm makes and the help it provides in fostering socially conscious investments. It is tremendously rewarding to make a difference professionally while simultaneously pursuing my personal passions and beliefs.
Bryan Didier is a Partner and the Managing Director of Renewable Energy at Monarch Private Capital. In addition to nearly two decades of legal experience in renewable energy and project finance, Bryan brings over 30 years of leadership experience to his role, including over 20 years of service as an officer in the US Navy.
As part of his responsibilities, Bryan leads and manages Monarch’s renewable energy tax practice, overseeing the origination and closing of transactions, working closely with investors, and serving as the primary point of contact for developers and service providers in the rapidly expanding renewable energy field. Bryan has been a frequent lecturer, speaker, and panelist for industry conferences and CLEs, including most recently on opportunities created by the Inflation Reduction Act. Bryan is currently serving on several boards, including as a Board Alternate for the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), and he is a member of the Renewable Energy Working Group.
Prior to joining Monarch, Bryan had been a partner at Leverage Law Group, LLC since 2009, where he developed and led the firm’s renewable energy practice, with a particular emphasis on tax-credit incentivized renewable energy transactions. His diverse client portfolio included tax credit investors, syndicators, renewable energy developers, lenders and non-tax equity investors. Bryan also possesses substantial experience in project finance and corporate governance, having previously served as in-house counsel at a publicly-held utility and a large private chemical manufacturer.
Before and during his civilian legal career, Bryan served for over 20 years on active and reserve duty in the US Navy, retiring with the rank of Commander. Assignments included multiple deployments to the Arabian Gulf as a helicopter pilot, a tour as an Admiral’s aide, and billets in anti-terrorism and domestic casualty response. His military background instilled in him a strong sense of discipline, strategic thinking and leadership, which he now brings to Monarch Private Capital.
