Non-Profit Law

volunteersOur attorneys have extensive experience in representing non-profit and charitable entities, including foundations, schools, religious organizations, civic associations, business leagues, membership organizations and other tax-exempt organizations.

Our attorneys have guided organizations through legal issues arising in connection with their formation, operational, governance and ongoing compliance.

In addition to serving as counsel to exempt organizations, our attorneys routinely serve as board members for charitable and nonprofit organizations. We are also called upon frequently to plan and facilitate the transfer of gifts and estate assets to charitable organizations. We are committed to providing practical advice structured for the specific and unique needs of the nonprofit and charitable entities that we serve, with the goal of assisting them to prosper and to continue doing their good works in our community.

Some of the areas in which we advise tax-exempt organizations include:

  • Formation and Governing Documents
  • Application for Tax Exemption
  • Compliance Issues, Reporting and Regulatory Requirements
  • Policies and Procedures
  • Dissolution, Mergers, Significant Changes in Structure
  • Planned Giving Techniques
