F. Rendol Barlow, Ellen Mercer Fallon, & Mitchell L. Pearl

Our lawyers work with a wide variety of non-profit institutions, including colleges, schools, camps, churches and synagogues, youth groups, trade associations, lobbying committees, and a range of charitable groups. Though somewhat similar to business entities, non-profits face a number of unique challenges.

We can form a non-profit institution and help establish and maintain its tax-exempt status. We can guide clients through the intricacies of the fiduciary responsibilities among the institution, its trustees, and its members. We can assist in developing fund-raising and charitable giving strategies. Our team of lawyers can help non-profit institutions achieve their stated goals.
