Nonprofit organizations are an essential part of our society — and they need quality representation as much as for-profit companies.
The team at Charen, Palitz and Rosenberg provide legal advice and counsel with respect to:
- Starting a nonprofit corporation
- Earned income strategies and unrelated business income tax (UBIT)
- Organizational structuring (chapters, affiliates, subsidiaries)
- Collaborations and joint ventures
- Nonprofit mergers and acquisitions
- Dissolution
- Social enterprises
- Obtaining and maintaining tax exempt (and public charity) status
- Nonprofit board duties and nonprofit corporate governance
- Charitable solicitation activities and registration requirements
For example, if you’re connected with a nonprofit organization, ask
- Are you are organized and operating in compliance with all applicable laws?
- Are your officers and directors knowledgeable as to their legal and fiduciary responsibilities?
- Do you have a business plan for your non profit organizations?
Retaining the services of the right attorney can result in:
- More effective governance and support to the organization by the Board;
- Less exposure to liability (to the organization and its individual managers and directors);
- Greater confidence and efficiency in operations; and
- Improved recruiting of executive staff and board members.
