Non-Profits

Non-profit organizations encounter the same types of legal issues as for-profit businesses, especially when it comes to labor relations, contract disputes, leases and protection of their property interests. Although the term “non-profit” evokes the image of an enterprise that is always struggling for financial survival, non-profit organizations frequently have more reliable sources of income than for-profit businesses, whether it is from government contracts, grants, membership dues or charitable donations. As a result, non-profits are in a better position to budget for legal representation by engaging a private attorney to act as general counsel under a monthly retainer agreement. Rousso & Jackel offer such arrangements for larger non-profits.

Many non-profits have attorneys serving on their boards, who are able to provide free advice. However, volunteer attorneys generally do not have the time or expertise needed to provide legal representation for many routine matters. Many of these attorneys have no experience working with clients who have limited resources. In contrast, Mr. Jackel has had years of experience representing such clients and has become proficient at providing cost- effective representation.
