Nonprofit and Tax-Exempt Organizations

We represent nonprofit and other tax-exempt organizations in all aspects of their legal needs, including governance, operations and management.  The firm’s attorneys, drawing on their deep experience in taxation and corporate law, have advised nonprofits of all sizes and their boards with formation matters, corporate governance, mandatory filings, fundraising and lobbying, and IRS issues. Our attorneys understand the particular legal challenges facing nonprofit clients—from small start-ups to educational institutions to established national charities—and we work with our clients to not only ensure compliance, but also to pursue the organization’s mission creatively and strategically.

We strive to develop an active and ongoing counseling relationship with our clients, working closely with organizations to provide legal advice optimizing the client’s specific goals and needs. In addition to corporate and tax matters specific to nonprofits, the firm’s attorneys are equipped to act as outside “in house” counsel, providing broad-based legal advice on matters ranging from executive compensation to protecting the organization’s intellectual property interests.
