Nonprofit and Corporate Governance
The current regulatory environment for nonprofit organizations is increasingly complex, with heightened competition for limited resources. Michel & Associates, P.C. provides experienced legal guidance to help nonprofits achieve their financial goals, fulfill their missions, and operate effectively in a competitive landscape.
Our attorneys offer expertise in acting as general counsel, providing operational and employment guidance, and assisting with corporate compliance. Services include bylaw drafting and revision, personnel and volunteer management, employment policy creation and updates, legal opinions to directors, contract review and drafting, director fiduciary duty compliance, nonprofit formation and registration, as well as assistance with dissolutions and mergers.
Successful nonprofit operations also depend on navigating funding and grant opportunities. Our attorneys assist clients in identifying and researching grants, drafting grant proposals, and ensuring compliance with grant administration requirements under state and federal law. We guide organizations on lawful fundraising practices, including raffles and other campaigns in California, to ensure full regulatory compliance.
Michel & Associates also helps nonprofits advocate before government entities, providing strategic guidance on legislative and regulatory matters that impact their missions. We establish tracking protocols to keep clients informed about relevant bills, regulations, and policy developments. Additionally, our team ensures compliance with charitable registration, tax-exempt status requirements, and ongoing review of corporate documents and organizational policies.
Employment issues are particularly challenging for nonprofits in California. Our attorneys assist with employee handbook development, human resources guidance, and ongoing compliance with labor and employment laws, helping organizations operate confidently while focusing on their mission.
