Why Hire a Nonprofit Lawyer?
When your nonprofit organization needs advice on legal matters, you should hire the best nonprofit lawyer you can find in New York. These legal professionals understand the details of your organizational structure, and they know the financial and structural challenges your organization faces.
Some nonprofit attorneys work with charitable organizations, while others specialize in community groups or professional associations. When you work with one of the best nonprofit lawyers in New York, you can feel confident that you have a knowledgeable, experienced professional on your side. This increases the chances of tackling issues proactively and resolving concerns effectively.
Experienced nonprofit lawyers can advise about the following types of issues:
- Corporate Structure: A nonprofit organization can choose from several corporate structure types, but not all will help meet the objectives of the founders. A top nonprofit attorney can ensure that you select the right structure to establish a solid foundation.
- Tax Status and Compliance: Selecting the right tax status is essential for nonprofit organizations. New York nonprofit lawyers can help you understand which status you qualify for.
- Mission Statement: Experienced nonprofit attorneys can assist your organization with drafting a mission statement that will shape your direction for decades to come. Lawyers can advise about what to leave out and what's necessary to include.
- Governance Structure: Knowledgeable nonprofit lawyers can help your New York organization decide on the right governance structure. This could include number of directors, necessary qualifications, and voting requirements.
- Board of Directors: After election, nonprofit lawyers can ensure that your board of directors understands their legal responsibilities and how to mitigate personal risks.
How to Find the Best Nonprofit Lawyer in New York
When looking for the best nonprofit lawyer in New York, search for attorneys licensed to work in New York State. Lawyers must have either a J.D. degree from an accredited law school or a combination of law school study and approved experience in the legal field before passing the New York State Bar Exam.
Do your research to find the best nonprofit lawyers in New York:
- Check the New York State Unified Court System to make sure any lawyer you want to work with is a current member. To remain active members of the New York State Bar, lawyers have to complete continuing legal education courses to keep their skills up to date.
- Consult with the Grievance Committee for the appropriate Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court to find out if a lawyer you're considering has any grievances or misconduct complaints on file. Top nonprofit attorneys in New York also tend to have clean records.
- Read blurbs about each lawyer you might work with. This will tell you if the lawyer's background and focus areas meet your organization's needs.
- Find a firm that gives back to the community. Some of the best nonprofit lawyers in New York are actively involved in the local community, so they interact with organizations from more than just the business side.
Choose the most compatible nonprofit lawyers in New York for your organization:
- Industry Specialization: Top nonprofit attorneys may have a range of experience working with various types of nonprofit organizations. If you need legal assistance with an issue that's specific to your industry, find a lawyer who specializes in your unique concerns.
- Case Oversight: Experienced New York nonprofit lawyers often work with legal teams to handle cases and tackle workloads. Make sure you know whether your lawyer takes on cases solo or if he or she supervises a team of paralegals and legal assistants. If your lawyer takes the team approach, understand how much oversight he or she offers.
- Communication Style: Some top-ranked nonprofit lawyers communicate with clients on a daily or weekly basis, while others only email or call when a major development happens. If you need frequent updates about your case or if you have expectations about communication, make sure you know how your lawyer operates.
