Whether forming a nonprofit or adjusting to rapidly changing laws, Howard Van Den Heuvel Law Office can guide you through the issues. Rapidly changing laws often present unique challenges to nonprofit entities. When contracts are not drafted properly, disputes can arise that jeopardize the success of the organization. In addition, contract disputes can lead to costly, unwanted legal battles over funding and control of operations and ultimately a reduced ability to serve those in need. While there are a variety of types of nonprofit entities, tax-exempt organizations often face similar concerns. Whether you are a charity, foundation, social club, school, neighborhood association, or trade association, we are prepared to provide you sound guidance in your contractual matters.
