Nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations often operate on smaller margins, with thinner resources, and bigger plans than their for-profit counterparts. We understand these circumstances, appreciate the sometimes significant differences, and support and represent many nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, including private foundations, public charities, hospitals, schools, social welfare organizations, and trade associations.
We can help you with:
- Formation of nonprofit entities

- Maintaining tax-exempt status and avoiding intermediate sanctions
- Advice on lobbying restrictions
