We are here when you need guidance and advice—whether it’s a single project or as your outside general counsel.
Small businesses provide value to their community far beyond their core business, they create local prosperity and develop community leaders in a way that managerial mega-corporations simply cannot. Unfortunately, in America’s increasingly regulated economy, they don’t just have to worry about their business, they have to worry about a host of legal challenges—structure, governance, contracts, employment, intellectual property rights, and industry-specific regulations.
We are here to work though those issues with you and provide strategic solutions and advice to meet the complex challenges your business faces. That can take many forms, whether it’s a single project, or as your outside general counsel.
We often work with entrepreneurs just starting off and small business owners who have successfully launched and now need to get their legal house in order. We can help with one-time needs, audit different aspects of the business, and provide ongoing support.
Nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations do tremendous good, but are subject to substantial, unique scrutiny across all their activities—corporate, tax, governance, as well as their regulatory compliance. On top of that, nonprofits are still companies and face many of the usual issues that for-profit companies deal with such as contracting and employment issues.
We can help an organization at any stage—from legal questions surrounding formation to day-to-day operations, analyzing agreements, or complying with applicable laws.
We have a unique focus on religious nonprofits which, as America’s social and political climate becomes increasingly intolerant, are being subjected to greater scrutiny than ever before—especially when they seek to operate their organization and employ people in accordance with their beliefs.
