Not-for-Profit Practice

Long-term relationships with not-for-profit clients afford us a special appreciation of the unique character of these institutions, including issues specific to organizational governance and structure, the importance of donor support, the roles of faculties, students and alumni in academic institutions and the effect of governmental and media attention.

We advise our not-for-profit clients on a wide range of subjects, including:

• art law

• charitable giving

• corporate reorganization

• employment law

• executive compensation

• First Amendment and other constitutional issues

• governance

• government regulation

• intellectual property

• internal investigations

• litigation

• tax-related matters

• tort liability

We represent and advise a wide range of not-for-profit organizations. Present and recent former clients include the American Bureau of Shipping, Boy Scouts of America, Boys Town, Broadcast Music Inc., the Brooklyn Museum, Columbia University, the National Arts Club, the National League for Nursing, the New York Blood Center, the Perez Art Museum of Miami, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the World Monuments Fund.
