Carter Law Group is a Phoenix, Arizona based law firm with extensive experience representing nonprofit, tax-exempt, and socially responsible companies. We provide general business, governance, tax, and outside general counsel advice to our clients. We also understand the nuances of emerging hybrid legal structures such as the L3C and Benefit Corporation and regularly advise social entrepreneurs regarding the suitability of such structures for their projects.
We represent a diverse clientele that includes direct service organizations, grant-making foundations, arts organizations, hospitals, schools, churches, support organizations, and trade associations.
Counter intuitively, tax-exempt organizations generally have more, rather than fewer, I.R.S. compliance issues because the I.R.S. must ensure that valuable tax exemptions, eligibility for deductible contributions, tax-exempt bond funding and other benefits are not exploited.
Our focus allows us to stay on top of the evolving legal and regulatory climate for nonprofits. It allows us to provide advice and counsel based on deep experience and extensive contacts within the philanthropic sector. Our goal is to leverage that experience to help our clients avoid costly legal mistakes while maximizing their community impact.
