FAQs About Nonprofit Lawyers

Do You Need A Lawyer To Form A Nonprofit?

A common misconception is that nonprofit attorneys are unnecessary for formation, since nonprofits are tax exempt. However, your organization is more than likely to need a lawyer to advise in areas like paperwork compliance, which the government will require and scrutinize to ensure that the purpose of your organization is valid.

What Is The Purpose Of Nonprofit Bylaws?

Nonprofit bylaws are seen as a type of legal documentation that describes how an organization will be run. Essentially, it’s an operating manual for nonprofits, and compliance with these bylaws is required for legal operation. To ensure that your organization’s drafted bylaws are in accordance with federal and state laws, you should consult a nonprofit organization attorney.

How Do I Find A Nonprofit Attorney Near Me?

Many find referrals and recommendations from industry professionals helpful, as it means that the attorney has been properly vetted and has demonstrated competency. You may, however, choose to search around on your own. When doing so, you can list out certain criteria that you want the attorney to meet to narrow your search.
