Exceptional Service and Predictable Pricing
With nearly a decade of legal experience, we are well-equipped to advise nonprofits on the variety of challenges presented by a rapidly developing philanthropic sector. Nonprofits and for-profit organizations alike face many of the same challenges, but nonprofits encounter the added complexity of tax exemption. Lighthouse Legal provides a sophisticated approach to managing both the corporate and tax-exempt aspects of the modern nonprofit corporation.
Sophisticated support means providing effective legal counsel with clear communication and price transparency. For most projects, we’ll give you a cost estimate and follow it closely. You’ll know exactly how much your project costs before we start working. However, we aim to be comprehensive in our legal support. If we spend more time than expected to help you, we don’t pass that cost on to you.
