You are making a commitment to donate your time and talent to assist small nonprofits with their legal questions. We greatly appreciate your willingness to help!"
It is becoming more and more common for nonprofit organizations to be related to for-profit or 501(c)(4) entities and vice versa, all of which come with their own legal challenges. Join this engaging and insightful session to delve into the practical how-tos of creating related entities and sharing data, intellectual property, and even office space. Through an interactive skit, discover innovative strategies and best practices that will empower your nonprofit to maximize its impact and bring in more revenue or your for-profit to make a lasting impact in the charitable space.

This presentation will also cover topics such as AI, when health data laws apply, when organizations can rely on “exemptions” in privacy laws, and how to address incident response.
