Charities & Not-For-Profit

With layers of regulations and an evolving landscape, charities and not-for-profits encounter a variety of legal challenges. Organizations want advisors who understand their operations and context, and have the specialized legal expertise to help the organization achieve its objectives and mitigate risks. Charities and not-for-profits face opportunities and challenges in many areas of the law, including corporate, governance, tax, labour and employment, intellectual property and real estate.
Our team understands the regulatory framework charities and not-for-profits must navigate, as well as the opportunities and challenges that charitable organizations face. We have extensive experience working with the sector from a business and volunteer perspective. Our significant roster of charitable and not-for-profit clients depend on us for business and legal advice, including advising on the latest laws and practices. Several members of our team hold leadership positions within industry and trade associations, as well as positions on boards of charities, including hospitals, universities and colleges.
