Knowing your org's legal and governance is in good hands...priceless

Legal and governance may not be the fun part of an impact org -- but they keep the fun (and impactful) part running smoothly

Legal and governance services are vital to the success of nonprofits, social enterprises, and impact orgs of all types.  The unique business, regulatory and governance environment of nonprofits pose serious risks and challenges that can compromise their ability to achieve their mission and make a positive impact in the community.

We help you to navigate complex regulations and requirements, protect your assets and reputation, and ensure compliance with laws and standards.

I've known Dan more than a decade and have worked on matters from the mundane to the critically strategic. In each of them, his ability to understand the implications of decisions well down the line is something I have counted on many times.
