Charitable organizations often face unique legal issues related to their nonprofit status or structure that require the support of experienced external counsel. Whether a large, established charity with an in-house legal staff, or a smaller one with few (or one) in-house lawyers, or none whatsoever, the need to retain legal support from time to time is typically impacted by the equally important need to minimize legal costs.
