How can we help you succeed?

Business Formation

Starting something new? We can help you set it up. From partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, to nonprofits, we can walk you through the process and help get you to your launch.

Nonprofit Law

It can be a challenge to navigate and comply with all of the legal requirements for tax-exempt organizations. From corporate governance to lobbying, fundraising, organizational policies and procedures, reporting, grantmaking, and beyond, we can help take the worry out of compliance, so your nonprofit can focus on fulfilling its mission.

Corporate Law

You’ve got your business up and running, but there are ongoing corporate governance issues to deal with. Need help with your corporate meeting minutes and resolutions, updating bylaws, or amending your operating agreement?
We can provide it.

Business Transactions

Vendor contracts, independent contractor agreements, non-disclosure agreements, licensing agreements, partnership agreements – these are just a few common examples of contracts that you may need to operate and protect your organization or business. We can help draft, review, and negotiate on your behalf and make sure you understand what you’re signing.

Special Projects

You’re working on exciting things and we want to help. Planning an event? We can review venue and vendor contracts, assess insurance needs, manage risk, and even help keep it sustainable. Conducting a social media contest? We can draft the official rules and help navigate the laws that regulate sweepstakes, contests, and lotteries. Producing a video? We can help ensure that your content is properly licensed and cleared.

Outside General Counsel

Your organization or company is growing and has more consistent legal needs. For a flat monthly fee, we can serve as your go-to outside general counsel and provide you with guidance to meet your day-to-day legal needs.

PRICING

We understand that nonprofits and small businesses operate on a tight budget. Hourly legal fees can add up to an unexpectedly large legal bill, which can be problematic for budgeting and your bottom line. That’s why we offer reasonable hourly rates, flat-rate quotes, and payment plans for our services. Contact us to receive a quote today.

“I just expanded my business and needed help with a contract for my new contractors. She was super helpful and efficient in putting this together and scheduled a phone call before finalizing to make sure everything I wanted in the contract was included, as well as making sure I understood all the terms of the contract. I would definitely work with her again!”

I truly appreciate your patience and persistence in following up with me especially given my crazy hectic schedule.

"Tammy recently assisted me with all the legalities and paperwork associated with setting up a non-profit in Washington, DC – from start to finish. She was up-do-date on all of the necessary procedures and was unfailingly prompt in communicating, both with me as well as with the DC government. When we occasionally ran into a bureaucratic hurdle, she demonstrated the creative insight necessary to find a solution. In addition to being highly professional, Tammy is wonderfully personable, making the experience less of a chore and more of a pleasure."
