Resource Calls

Lawyers Alliance provides free general information on business and transactional legal issues (not litigation) to nonprofits, lawyers, policymakers, technical assistance providers, and members of the general public. We do not provide legal information on individual or for-profit business questions or provide legal advice through this service.

    Examples:
  • "What are the basic steps to form a nonprofit?"
  • "What are a board member's fiduciary duties?"
  • "Do we need a written agreement with a consultant?"
  • "Can a nonprofit compensate board members?"
  • "What policies should a nonprofit have in place for employees or volunteers?"

Disclaimer:
If we do not have a formal retainer agreement in place covering your question, all information that we provide is general legal information ONLY and NOT legal advice. This information is not a substitute for the advice of independent legal counsel adequately briefed on all of the circumstances in question. Although it is Lawyers Alliance's policy to maintain confidentiality of all resource call inquiries, you should be aware that any legal and factual information exchanged on the call, and the fact of the call itself, may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Please note that completing this form will result in a faster response time. This form is only for a brief consultation on nonprofit law. For more in-depth issues or if you are interested in learning how to become a client, please read more here: Becoming a Client
