Providing guidance on the law so you can carry out your mission.

We know that each not-for-profit corporation’s priority is service to others. Our not-for-profit corporations practice group works to ensure that the regulatory burdens of not-for-profit corporation law do not hamper your ability to fulfill your philanthropic purpose. In addition to having decades of experience in this area, our attorneys have served on numerous not-for-profit boards and board committees, including as chairpersons of some of the area’s most well-known not-for-profits. This enables us to provide valuable insights based on real world experience—and helps Jaspan Schlesinger Narendran LLP deliver on our commitment to you.
