Practice/Industry Group Overview
We understand the unique legal requirements of the nonprofit sector. Our attorneys represent the interests of public charities, private foundations, charitable trusts and other charitable organizations, including organizations devoted to the arts, sports, community, cultural, and educational causes, professional organizations, homeowners' associations, religious denominations, supporting organizations, and fraternal and beneficial societies.
We assess clients' missions to determine appropriate structure and classification, assist with development of sound business strategies, prepare and submit the necessary filings required for tax exemption, and provide ongoing operational counsel.
Our attorneys serve organizations dedicated to legal reform and advise clients about significant legal developments and requirements for compliance with charitable entity regulations. We also counsel regarding director and officer fiduciary responsibility, gift structuring, grantmaking options, limitations on solicitation, planned giving, political lobbying, and tax-exempt bond financing.
Our attorneys are effective advocates and spokespersons for the nonprofit community.
