proven experience
We have successfully encountered and resolved many of the legal
situations your non-profit is likely to experience – from
employment disputes to financial reporting and contract
negotiations to corporate restructuring. Our attorneys have
nearly two decades of combined experience providing legal
assistance to non-profits. We work exclusively with charitable
and educational organizations from across New York State. Watson
& West understands that the needs of your organization are not
like those of an ordinary business and we have a record of
solving even the most complicated problems faced by non-profits.
ongoing support
By sharing a long-term relationship, our attorneys will
understand the nuances of your non-profit’s mission, programs
and service. Our familiarity with your organization will enable
us to identify and remedy legal concerns before they cause
trouble and proactively manage your risks. We will develop
strong relationships with your staff and directors that will
enable us to depend upon one-another in quickly and efficiently
resolving legal concerns. Your staff and directors will feel
comfortable working with attorneys that they know and trust.
Our goal is to build a long-term relationship with your
non-profit that will last for decades.
unique approach
Our approach to providing legal assistance will fit the needs of
your organization. We’ll become familiar with all of your
internal documents from personnel policies to contracts to
bylaws, right at the inception of our relationship. When you
speak to one of our attorneys, you’ll always speak with a
partner, not an associate or recent law school graduate. Our
attorneys are accustomed to breaking-down complicated legal
topics in such a way that every member of your staff and board
of directors will understand what is being discussed. We
understand that all legal problems can’t be resolved during
traditional business hours and so we are available on nights and
weekends to address them.
affordable rates
Our attorneys understand the financial challenges faced by non-profits. Our experience and efficiency enable us to charge affordable rates. We have designed cost-sensitive fee schedules to ensure that non-profits of any size can take advantage of our services. We offer specialy designed packages for legal support that will fit your needs and budget.
