He has assisted organizations that had taken the initial steps at formation, but needed to make sure they were on the right track. He has helped organizations that were up and running and needed assistance with a wide range of matters, such as reviewing contracts, seeking tax-exempt status, registering trademarks, buying or selling real estate, dealing with state tax issues, registering with the Michigan Attorney General, merging with a related organization, forming a subsidiary, and many other matters. He has also helped organizations at the end of their life cycle to dissolve and wind up their affairs. He is one of the country’s most experienced attorneys in assisting organizations to get their tax-exempt status reinstated with the IRS after their exemption has been revoked, and in helping them address the many issues that a loos of exemption raises.
