Sometimes, companies desire to have a charitable arm to their operations; other times, nonprofit causes arise on their own, needing legal counsel. We’re prepared to assist for either situation, providing relevant startup and maintenance counsel along the way.

Formation

Life Law Partners can assist with forming a nonprofit entity, including the incorporation of a public-benefit corporation (or its relevant equivalent outside of California) and the necessary procedures to startup the entity, including an organizing meeting, the filing of the appropriate tax-exemption application with the IRS and state agencies and seeking relevant permission to fundraise from the applicable attorneys general from state to state.

Maintenance

Life Law Partners can also assist with maintaining a nonprofit’s status, including ongoing corporate governance assistance, corporate recordkeeping, corporate formalities and the monitoring of a nonprofit’s operations to ensure they are permissible under IRS and state guidance.
