Denver Trade Association Lawyers 

Our firm has substantial experience in representing trade associations and other not-for-profit entities, both on a national level and on a local level.

We are well versed in the structural aspects of associations and other not-for-profit entities, including tax and fiduciary duty issues.

We provide our association clients with a full range of general corporate services, and frequently draft and negotiate contracts to meet all manner of business needs for such clients. Without limitation, we have significant experience with development/licensing agreements, endorsement/sponsorship agreements, lease agreements (equipment and real property), and employment/non-competition agreements.

The advice we provide for our association and not-for-profit clients is diverse, including matters such as the organization and operation of for-profit subsidiaries and supported/supporting entities, fundraising activities, legal issues involving raffles, contests, sweepstakes, awards, sponsorships, tax matters (e.g., obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status, private inurement, private benefit, intermediate sanctions, unrelated business income, etc.), security/privacy and other concerns relating to member information, and regulatory matters (e.g., securities and insurance licensing requirements).

Ms. Way heads this practice group, and is assisted by Ms. Moses and Messrs. Cripe and Wysocki.
