Strategic legal and governance attorneys and advisors to exempt organizations.
25+ years of legal and governance experience with tax-exempt and mission-driven organizations including as General Counsel and CEO.
Org Law was founded by a General Counsel and a CEO of global trade associations. We don’t just write theoretical legal memos; we have managed board crises, overseen, structured complex corporate transactions, built revenue-generating programs from the ground up, and architected effective governance structures.
We combine relentless legal rigor with executive judgment. We don’t just tell you what is legally possible, we help you build what will actually sustain.
We advise on the legal structure and defensibility of certification and credentialing programs. We draft and revise governing documents, policies, procedures, and agreements, and we counsel on disputes and enforcement involving credential decisions and certification marks.
We counsel boards and executives on fiduciary duties, authority, and governance process. We draft and amend bylaws, charters, and governance policies, and we advise on governance structuring, including board composition, committee architecture, advisory boards, delegations, and reserved powers, as well as conflict and investigation processes when needed.
We structure, negotiate, and document transactions involving mission-driven organizations. We provide diligence support, draft transaction documents, counsel on approvals and governance steps, and advise on deal structures involving subsidiaries, affiliations, joint ventures, and program acquisitions or divestitures.
We advise on IP strategy and technology contracting. We prosecute and manage trademarks, draft licensing and content agreements, negotiate vendor and platform contracts, and counsel on data rights, security terms, and policies governing content creation and AI use.
We draft and negotiate executive employment, compensation, and separation arrangements. We counsel boards and committees on documentation and process, and we advise on tax-exempt compensation risk issues, including intermediate sanctions considerations and related-party transaction concerns.
We advise tax-exempt organizations on compliance affecting operations, revenue, advocacy, and reporting. We analyze UBIT and private benefit issues, counsel on lobbying and political activity rules, support Form 990 positioning, and represent organizations in IRS inquiries and examinations.
Our federal tax-exempt organization practice accepts clients nationwide and from around the world. Â We maintain an extensive network of vetted local attorneys throughout the country for matters requiring local support for your tax-exempt organization.
