A moderately sized nonprofit with a hugely impactful mission faced a wide variety of legal questions and need for legal reviews on a regular basis. These topics ranged from efforts to amend state statutes and reviewing pending legislation, to contract negotiations, risk assessments, corporate formalities, and personnel matters.
Time-based billing was cost prohibitive for the organization, so arrangements were made for an affordable fixed-fee arrangement so that officers of the organization could freely reach out for assistance whenever necessary without worrying about escalating legal fees. In that way, the organization was positioned for peace-of-mind, growth, and success on a pre-set budget.
