​WHY NON-PROFIT LEGAL SERVICES ARE NEEDED
Non-profit organizations, including various non-profit organization types and charitable organizations, operate under a specific set of legal and tax regulations that differ significantly from those affecting for-profit businesses. Navigating these rules while trying to fulfill your organization’s mission can be daunting without the right guidance. Additionally, managing the legal issues unique to the non-profit sector, such as compliance with IRS Code section 501(c)(3) requirements, can be particularly challenging. Our services are designed to address the unique issues of the non-profit sector, from governance and compliance to fundraising and employment law.
