Non-Profit Organizations Practice Group Formed

April 24, 2002

Cohen & Grigsby’s has formally established a new Non-Profit Organizations Practice Group to coordinate the bundle of services it offers to meet the unique needs of non-profit organizations.  This Group provides a comprehensive set of highly sophisticated legal services to its clients in the non-profit sector and includes attorneys from the Firm’s three major practice areas:  business and tax, labor and employment, and litigation.  These attorneys have substantial experience in successfully handling the unique legal and regulatory issues and transactions which affect this rapidly growing business sector.  As general counsel, board members and executive officers, our attorneys have been actively involved in the formation and ongoing operation of numerous non-profit entities.  This Group is closely aligned with the Firm’s Healthcare Practice Group which serves a large number of non-profit healthcare entities.  However, the Non-Profit Organizations Practice Group also serves numerous non-profit clients having no substantial connection to the healthcare industry.  Among these are colleges and universities, public broadcasting companies, religious organizations, community groups and social service agencies, trade associations, grant making organizations and foundations.  Representative services include general corporate and tax matters; administrative and regulatory matters; finance; labor and employment; real estate; fundraising and charitable solicitation; risk management and litigation; governmental affairs; and intellectual property.
