The nonprofit sector, a significant and growing segment of the economy, is in the midst of significant legal and regulatory changes and issues. This years Nonprofit Institute will focus on some of these important trends. We will address recent changes in the federal tax law from several angles, in particular relating to the implications of the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Acts for the calculation of UBTI. Employment law experts will present to the audience the many updates to New York employment laws that have been enacted over the past year. And, as we come out of this latest election cycle, we will dive into the recent amendments to the New York Lobbying Act and present a primer intended to help counsel and not-for-profit managers recognize the sometimes blurry lines between general advocacy, lobbying and prohibited political activity.

As always, we will have an engaging ethics session examining some of the tricky ethical quandaries counsel to nonprofit clients confront, and expert insight into the current processes and priorities of the Internal Revenue Service and the Charities Bureau of the New York State Attorney Generals Office. Leading practitioners will also present on other important developments and topics, including trends in state regulatory enforcement and bankruptcy and dissolution issues. This full-day program is intended to serve in-house and outside counsel with a well-developed background in nonprofit law, but it will also be a useful and informative session for not-for-profit organizational managers as well as lawyers who focus on other sectors and seek to enhance their early practice in the not-for-profit field.

This program will not be taped, you only have one chance to see it - Live!
