Corporate Compliance/Non Profit

The current regulatory environment for nonprofit organizations is challenging with the added pressure of having to compete for scarcer and scarcer resources. Michel & Associates, P.C. has experienced lawyers that can help your nonprofit achieve its financial goals, fulfill its mission, and outshine its competitors.

Michel & Associate’s areas of expertise include acting as general counsel and providing corporate compliance assistance, bylaw drafting and revision, personnel and volunteer management, employment policy drafting and revision, providing legal opinions to directors, contract review and drafting, director fiduciary duty compliance, and dissolutions and mergers.

Identifying and researching grants, drafting grant proposals, and assisting with compliance for grant administration, are all key elements to successfully competing for funding as a nonprofit.  Our attorneys regularly work with organizations regarding potential funding and grant resources as well as proper uses for those grants that keep the nonprofits in compliance with state and federal law.

Because of our work for clients interacting with federal, state, and local governments, we also are experienced in assisting nonprofits in advocating for them with government entities to help our clients achieve their goals.  We have established tracking protocols that help our clients stay up to date on the latest developments on bills or regulations that impact their mission.  We also assist nonprofit clients in regulatory compliance including charitable registration and tax-exempt status compliance. 

Michel & Associates’ lawyers can help your nonprofit navigate the confusing legal hurdles that come with fulfilling your mission in California.
