Protect Your Mission with Proactive Legal Support
Are legal worries stealing time away from your mission?
You work at a nonprofit to make a difference—not because you’re an expert in nonprofit laws or IRS rules. And yet, as a dedicated leader, you know that the only way to deliver the mission is to make sure the organization is strong.
Nonprofits, no matter the size, have more in common with a Fortune-500 company than a lemonade stand. With so many extra rules and regulations, sometimes it’s hard to know whether you’re on the right path. I’m here to help, so you can stay focused on your mission.
Go from uncertainty to a plan of action – in 1 hour.
Whether you’re planning for a big change, dealing with a scary problem, or just looking for some clarity, I can help. When you book an Experienced Nonprofit Session with me (Jess Birken) we will:
You'll leave with peace of mind and some clear next steps – two things that a Google search just can’t give you.
I’ll be a partner in your mission.
Other lawyers sometimes get caught up in quoting the statute or hearing themselves talk (#SorryNotSorry). Not here – at Birken Law, I’m here for your work. I love getting to know my clients and being a strategic partner in the mission.
Anybody can draft up a one-off document or hand out some general opinions, but the best way to level up your work is to have a strong relationship with a deep expert you trust. I can be that person for you and your organization.
When we work together, you'll get:

How We Work Together
It’s probably clear by now that Birken Law isn’t like other law firms. We care about you as a person AND a professional, and we’re invested in making sure that your nonprofit succeeds.
There are lots of old, dusty law firms that run on fax machines and bill you for every email you send. When you work with an old-fashioned firm, you have no idea what’s going to happen next or how much it’s going to cost.
That model just doesn’t work anymore – so we do things differently. A Session is the first step. From there, we’ll work together through our innovative legal program: Mission Guardian.
Mission Guardian members get full-service legal advice, coaching, resources, and support for one predictable monthly cost. We become part of your executive team, coaching you through all the ups and downs of nonprofit life. This program offers services in a new and proactive way that promotes nonprofit sustainability and gives transparency in pricing.
