The corporate business group provides a number of services regarding various aspects of nonprofit law with particular emphasis on health care associations and related organizations.  Consultation begins with assistance to the client to determine: one, what the client’s intentions are; two, the costs and the advantages and disadvantages of creating a particular form of entity; and three, what form of entity will most appropriately serve the client’s needs.   After this analysis, the firm will prepare and file the necessary documentation with the appropriate governmental agency to implement the chosen form of entity.

Lawyers provides an array of support services to the non-profit health associations; including drafting of conforming by-laws; credentialling of members; guidance in regards to funding the entity by charitable contributions or fund-raising activities; establishment of manuals regarding the rules and regulations of convention related activities; negotiation and drafting of various contracts for convention sites; negotiation and drafting of contracts for exhibitor spaces.

Once the nonprofit organization is formed, Lawyerswill also continue to provide consultation regarding the maintenance of tax-exempt status and representation in audits by the Internal Revenue Service.  Our attorneys also work with the client’s accountants to meet the client’s specific nonprofit purposes and to efficiently handle legal and tax-related matters which may become an issue.

The firm also counsels such organizations in a wide array of legal disciplines including important matters of corporate governance, employment relations, contract review and negotiation, litigation and general taxation.
