Legal Help for
Professional Fund Raisers and Telemarketers
Professional
Fund raisers and Telemarketers for Non Profit Corporation need special
attention. In addition to the typical legal concerns there are special
issues for fund raisers. First, many states are on the lookout for
fraud. It is not unusual to be attacked by State Attorneys
General and Consumer Affairs Department. You need legal counsel to
promptly guide you through the necessary responses.
We will form your
business entity (typically a Limited Liability Company,) and help with
the required State registrations, filings and legal services
for professional fund raisers throughout the United States. We also
help
negotiate the contracts with your clients.
Professional fund raisers also have may federal and state tax issues.
The IRS and State Taxing Agencies attack the independent contractor
status used by many fund raisers. They also challenge business
expenses,
especially travel and entertainment. Our extensive tax law experience
is invaluable in fighting the government.
