We guide clients through the complexities of forming new charitable, educational, and scientific entities and obtaining IRS determinations of tax-exempt status. We draft and file initial applications, respond to IRS information requests, and complete state and local filings.
For established tax-exempt entities, our attorneys offer advice on governance issues and business practices necessary to maintain this status, including providing counsel on inurement and private benefit issues, permissible fundraising and lobbying activities, business ventures that may produce unrelated income, and partnerships with other entities for new business ventures.
We work with the firm's employment and business attorneys to assist clients with developing compensation programs, employee benefit and retirement plans, and executive compensation plans.
