The firm represents a number of non-profit organizations which range in purpose and size, including colleges, long term care facilities, social organizations, civic leagues, veterans associations, professional organizations, trade associations, churches and charitable organizations.

We help in the formation of such organizations as corporations, associations, foundations, trusts or cooperatives, depending upon the specific objectives of the organizers. This work requires addressing a wide range of legal issues, including management and control issues applicable to the boards of directors and members.

We are experienced in securing exemptions from federal, state and local taxation, including exemptions under Sections 501(c)(3) and other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and from state and local taxation, including real estate taxes and sales and use taxes. We prepare the tax exemption applications and represent our clients before administrative boards and the courts.

Our experience includes a wide range of financial matters, including budgeting, tax-exempt and taxable financing, fund raising and financial development. In addition, we have served as bond counsel in tax-exempt financing transactions.

We also advise our non-profit clients on the same issues and concerns encountered by other business organizations, including contracts, leases, employment and labor issues, zoning and land use, tax issues and other concerns that may be unique to a particular client.
