Advising Nonprofit Organizations 2017

Topics:
  • Access to Justice

Nonprofits are under heightened scrutiny to account for their management and fiduciary practices, and managing a nonprofit has become increasingly complex. This program is designed to examine federal and state laws and regulations affecting nonprofits, as well as new challenges and practical solutions for overcoming those challenges.

What You Will Learn
• Best practices for good governance
• How to handle ethical issues that can arise for lawyers serving on nonprofit boards
• Crisis management for nonprofit organizations
• Intellectual property issues for tax exempt organizations
• Update on New York's nonprofit revitalization act
• The future of state and federal enforcement initiatives and nonprofit self-defense strategies

This program is for attorneys interested in learning more about nonprofit law, as well as those who concentrate on such issues as a substantial part of their practice. The program is also valuable for in-house counsel at nonprofit organizations and attorneys who serve on boards of directors.
