Description
Nonprofit dissolutions and mergers (and other reorganizations and affiliations) have been trending upward in recent years, and that trend is not expected to fade quickly given current pressures faced by the charitable sector.
If you’re a corporate lawyer considering taking on this work for a Pennsylvania nonprofit organization, any for-profit M&A work experience you’ve had will only take you so far! Join nonprofit legal experts to learn more about these transactions and how to help the nonprofits you serve as they consider strategic restructuring or “end-of-life” options.
This course will cover the basics and beyond and provide clear guidance and practical tips for lawyers who play a critical role in helping Pennsylvania nonprofits plan for their futures.
