Not-for-Profit Practice

Arising in part from its representation of wealthy individuals and families and in part from civic and cultural activities of its partners, S&C has long conducted a very active not-for-profit clients practice.

• The Firm advises major charitable and cultural institutions and private foundations worldwide.
• The broad provisions of Chapter 42 of the Internal Revenue Code require detailed knowledge of and experience with the tax laws to advise private foundations properly today, and our representation of private foundations is coordinated by lawyers in our Estates and Personal Clients group.
• The Firm’s breadth of practice enables us to provide coordinated advice on virtually any legal issue that can arise for charitable organizations, including executive compensation, structuring of employer-employee policies and procedures, corporate organization and governance matters, real estate, environmental law, banking and investment matters and litigation.
