My focus

NonProfit Corporate Governance And Board Disputes

With the increased level of scrutiny and transparency requirements from the IRS, state charity regulators, and the public, it is more important than ever that nonprofit organizations ensure their governance and operations are legally compliant. I help organizations ranging from the very small to the very large update bylaws and policies to comply with legal requirements and best practices.

Tax Compliance and Audits

Both the IRS and many state charity regulators are using analytics to identify areas of potential noncompliance to start audits and investigations of nonprofit organizations. Many of these are targeted to specific areas, and it is important to have a plan in place to identify what the regulator is looking for and the best way to respond. I work with organizations to guide them through these audits and investigations.

Reorganizations, Mergers, Dissolutions, and Sale Of Assets

The current climate for nonprofits is unprecedented. Efficient and effective operations are more important than ever. Many nonprofits are working to leverage current assets and seek strategic alliances to ensure continued operations to assist the most vulnerable in society. I work with nonprofits to successfully sell assets and navigate mergers and dissolutions, including working through state charity-approval processes, which have become subject to increased scrutiny.

Charitable Solicitations And Sales Promotions

I assist charities navigate the various rules regarding charitable solicitations in a market that necessitates the use of social media and electronic communications. I also counsel businesses on developing best practices for operating sweepstakes and contests.

General Corporate

I counsel public and private companies on corporate and business law matters, with a focus on providing strategically drafted agreements, organizational documents, and resolutions.
