Trade and professional associations face a multitude of challenges. Whether questions arise regarding traditional not-for-profit issues (such as antitrust exposure, tax-exempt status or membership issues) or involve more recent developments (such as Internet activity, corporate governance responsibility, conflicts or lobbying), 501(c)(6) organizations need the advice of a trusted, well-respected and knowledgeable legal adviser. That is our role.
Our clients view us as valued allies who care about their organizations and missions and who provide the legal skill, proficiency and knowledge that they need – in a timely, efficient and practical manner. The attorneys in the trade and professional associations practice play an important role in our clients’ organizations. In fact, it is typical for our association law attorneys to become experts in the profession or industry represented by their clients.
When difficult issues arise, our clients benefit from our in-depth knowledge, our decades of experience as problem solvers and consensus builders and the broad interdisciplinary resources at our disposal that enable us to view issues inclusively and solve problems comprehensively and creatively.
