“We’ve dealt with every state and federal law and regulator for a decade or more….We can perform these services faster, more effectively and cheaper than general counsel.”
Practice Areas
Organizations benefit from knowledgeable, efficient, and committed legal counsel that can effectively navigate the maze of ever-changing state and federal laws. Our services help clients manage the regulatory burden placed on nonprofits, fundraising organizations and telemarketing firms.
Services for Nonprofits and Charities
If you’re among a growing number of nonprofits planning to make solicitations for public support, then you need specialized counsel that your in-house attorneys likely cannot provide. Our services are dedicated to guiding nonprofits and charitable organizations like yours through state and federal laws on establishing, maintaining and growing a not-for-profit entity. We offer cost-effective legal services for nonprofit fundraising and charitable solitication compliance and state registration, and working with fundraising consultants.
Services for Professional Fundraisers
The rules, regulations and legal precedents for professional fundraising and nonprofit solicitation just keep changing and growing more complicated, from one state to another and for a increasing number of cities and counties. Copilevitz & Canter can help ease the burden of fundraising regulations with effective legal guidance and fundraising registration services.
Services for Commercial Telemarketers
The challenge: ever-changing rules for calling campaigns, whether they are a service bureau or a company planning a campaign. Today’s telemarketers are faced with myriad issues: curfews, “do not call” lists, fundraising disclosure, licensing and contract requirements. Our clients depend on us to continuously monitor regulatory compliance issues and new state and federal telemarketing laws.
Political Calling
A combination of technology and money has fueled an unprecedented number of telephone calls to be placed for individual candidates and issues. An example of the complexity of recent legislation is the confusion of “do-not-call” lists - originally intended for commercial telemarketing calls - with advocacy and “fully protected” election speech activities, forcing a consumer to choose between receiving no calls (commercial or political) and every call (telemarketing calls included).
