Practice Areas

Strategic counsel for trade associations, professional societies, and credentialing bodies. When certification programs collapse or boards fracture, we've already seen it. We know how to fix it.

01.

Certification &
Credentialing

Certification programs carry significant legal exposure. We counsel organizations on governance, due process, accreditation compliance, and defense.

02.

Governance &
Board Counsel

Boards face decisions with real legal, organizational consequences. We advise boards and executives on governance structure, governing documents, fiduciary duties, and high-stakes decisions.

03.

Strategic Transactions &
Growth

Mergers, subsidiaries, partnerships, vendor relationships and restructuring all require careful legal structuring. We counsel organizations through complex transactions from negotiation to close.

04.

Intellectual Property &
Technology

Tax-exempt organizations own valuable IP and rely on critical technology vendors. We protect those assets, establish policies to govern technology use and negotiate the contracts that secure your organization.

05.

Executive Employment &
Compensation

Executive agreements and compensation decisions carry long-term legal and financial consequences. We counsel boards and executives through them.

06.

Tax Exemption &
Regulatory

Obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status requires sound strategy and ongoing compliance across revenue, advocacy, and operations functions. We manage the regulatory work that protects it.
