Allen Matkins attorneys counsel nonprofit organizations in all aspects of their activities, including special issues that impact tax-exempt entities as well as non-tax issues affecting them. Often serving in an outside general counsel role, we add particular value by understanding our clients’ missions and bringing practical solutions to the challenges that face them.
