Nonprofit Organizations

Our attorneys have over 40 years of combined experience forming, advising, and working with public benefit corporations, religious corporations, mutual benefit corporations, churches, mosques, temples, synagogues, integrated auxiliary organizations, and private foundations. Ellahie & Farooqui LLP is committed to providing personalized, cost-effective solutions for our nonprofit clients to ensure they achieve their objectives.

Employment and breach of contract claims constitute the largest percentage of legal claims filed against nonprofit organizations. Our attorneys work with our nonprofit clients to ensure that they follow set procedures for interviewing applicants (including religious clerics), hiring and firing staff, and abiding by all employment contracts.

Our attorneys have also assisted faith-based organizations in dealing with the Internal Revenue Service, the California Franchise Tax Board, the Department of Homeland Security, and its agency, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
