Just as you visit your doctor to get your annual physical, as an in-house attorney, it is prudent at least once a year to diagnose your nonprofit organization's legal health and well-being. Even if not an expert in every area of law, a successful in-house nonprofit counsel needs to be able to spot legal red flags and be able to effectively
manage them.

Later today on the Nonprofit Organizations Committee conference call, we'll be presenting a "legal quickie" on a number of the most significant legal issues faced by the typical nonprofit organization today. Topics will include everything from meeting contracts to tax exemption to lobbying disclosure to copyrights and trademarks and more.


Identified in our ACC Top Ten article on the same topic are ten key current legal issues and trends to which every nonprofit organization should pay close attention. Alongside each issue is a link to one or more articles on the topic, to provide you with additional information necessary to do some legal self-examination.
