| Practice Description |
Our Nonprofit and Charitable Organizations Practice is focused on developing an understanding of each client's structure and organizational needs in order to establish a productive working relationship with the client and to anticipate the client's needs. We provide advice in every stage of the organizational life cycle. We have formed and exempted numerous organizations, and we provide extra value in this process by advising clients regarding optimal structure and operations to accomplish the client's objectives while best positioning the organization for compliance with IRS requirements. The majority of our practice consists in advising clients in the operational phase of the organizational life cycle, providing service as outside general counsel to organizations that do not have full-time staff attorneys. As such, we work closely with management to identify the organization's most pressing legal needs, to coordinate legal projects with outside specialist counsel, and to advise on day-to-day operational matters. In addition to advising and guiding clients through the formation and tax exemption of organizations, some representative activities that we provide to our nonprofit clients include full reviews of structure and operations of currently-existing organizations, negotiation and drafting of contracts and leases, development of and advice regarding Section 403(b) retirement plans, review of fundraising materials, websites, and publications, advice regarding qualified sponsorships, drafting of intellectual property policies and contracts, and drafting updates with the IRS.
