Your Nonprofit Legal Partner

Yes. Our minimum client commitment is 6 months. When we develop a work plan we will set the minimum months of commitment. We will do the work laid out in your program plan and we believe we can finish the core startup work with you in that minimum commitment window. That is the starting point. There is no set end point, and we will keep working with you for as long as it works for both of us. Our service will continue monthly for as long as needed. We work with a limited number of clients, and we are happy for you to hold that seat as long as you need it.

All-inclusive means that we will never charge you for anything beyond your monthly member dues and filing fees (attorney ethics rules force us to charge those separately). Like all corporate general counsel, there are limits to what we can do – we’re not miracle workers 😉 Your membership includes any work we can reasonably do for you within our practice area – core nonprofit operational legal services and coaching. If you need litigation support, we’ll refer you to counsel. If you need an accountant, bookkeeper, state specific employment lawyer, trademark attorney, or something else, we can find another trusted professional to help.

Members log into our website and navigate to Resources. You’ll find all kinds of education and materials for you. To generate a customized document, just click the button to launch the app. Get what you need, customized for you, 24/7, at no additional cost – no need to wait for us to email you.

We have a library of apps which generate documents for you – forms and policies etc. These are customized to your needs as you answer questions in the app. At the end of the questionnaire, you get a customized document. These documents are forms, policies or contracts that our clients commonly need. They are drafted by lawyers for general use with nonprofits in mind. Apps deliver a MS Word document which you can edit further if you want to (at your own risk if you don’t ask us for advice).

Examples of documents you can generate with the apps include: memorandum of understanding, employee cost share agreements, grievance policies, conflict of interest policies, board meeting minutes & agendas, participant waivers, photo releases, independent contractor agreements, one time use facility rental agreements, extended term space or facility rental agreements, gift acceptance policies, grant awards or subawards, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements, community garden agreements, board resolutions, etc.

No problem, we’re happy to help! Simply reach out and let us know, and we’ll make some tweaks or, if you need it, scope out a project to work on together and extend your minimum monthly membership commitment by one month.

No. Memberships renew each month automatically. When you sign up, you agree to a 6 month minimum commitment, but our goal is to have a long term relationship with our clients.
