How We Can Help
We provide a broad range of legal and development services that are specifically required by not-for-profit organizations and charities. We stress collaborating with boards of trustees on governance issues, including by-law creation and expansion, amendments, charter revision, expansion and fundraising advice in fulfilling board members fiduciary responsibilities.
We are also well versed in the registration and reporting requirements imposed by federal, state and local authorities, and have assisted the financial advisors of the not-for-profits in obtaining exemptions from federal income tax.
