Philanthropy is more than generosity. It’s strategy, structure, and stewardship. Whether building a family legacy through giving or guiding a major institution, we help clients turn good intentions into lasting impact.
We provide legal counsel to nonprofits and charitable organizations at every stage, including formation, tax-exempt status, governance, and regulatory compliance. Our clients include private foundations, public charities, universities, hospitals, and other tax-exempt entities. We advise on grantmaking, fundraising compliance, executive compensation, and fiduciary responsibilities.
For individuals and families, we structure tax-efficient giving through vehicles such as private foundations, charitable remainder trusts, and donor-advised funds. We also assist with nonprofit mergers, affiliations, and restructuring, and represent clients in matters before the IRS, state attorneys general, and other regulators. When disputes arise, our litigators represent beneficiaries and fiduciaries in matters involving charitable trusts, restricted gifts, and fiduciary duties. By integrating nonprofit, tax, and estate planning experience, we deliver strategic solutions that support long-term philanthropic goals.
