Exempt Organizations

The nonprofit sector is one of the fastest growing sectors of the U.S. economy, with assets measured in the trillions of dollars. As exempt organizations become an increasingly powerful force in the national economy, their programs and operations are becoming far more complex. Our clients include charities, churches, schools, health care organizations, foundations, social welfare organizations and professional and trade associations.

EXPERIENCE

Our exempt organizations practice is large and comprehensive.  In addition to providing tax lawyers, we draw on wealth planning, real estate, corporate, employment, technology, intellectual property, health care, public finance, litigation and environmental lawyers to give the most inclusive advice as each client's situation demands.

COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT

Exempt organizations are becoming more sophisticated in their approach to business operations and financial management, participating more often in business transactions and interacting more often with for-profit organizations. As they seek more creative sources of revenue to support their activities, they may face tax consequences in many instances. We are structured to provide support across the complex environment in which these organizations must now operate.
