Overview
Our clients include public charities, private foundations, corporate foundations, and other tax-exempt organizations (e.g., 501(c)(4), 501(c)(6), etc.). Our engagements for these clients include choice and creation of appropriate entity, application for tax-exempt status, and ongoing governance and compliance matters – often serving as outside general counsel for these organizations.
For our larger nonprofit organizations, our attorneys work across groups and practice areas to bring insight and perspective on matters related to litigation, labor and employment, intellectual property, trademarks and licensing, real estate, and general corporate governance. We have managed IRS audits on behalf of tax-exempt organizations, and our attorneys often participate in and advise directors during board meetings.
We represent many public charities, corporate foundations, and community foundations in the Charlotte community and the Southeast region.
