Cullinane Law Group offers practical solutions for sound governance and legally compliant practices. Whether you’re just starting out or already running a well-established organization, we tailor our services to the specific needs of our various clients.
We are experienced attorneys who work only with nonprofits, IRS 501(c) tax-exempt organizations, and mission-driven businesses.
We are not a general practice firm. Working with charities is not something we do as a side project. Our boutique law firm has focused on providing specialized legal services exclusively to the nonprofit sector – for 20 years.
Our expertise in nonprofit and tax-exempt law allows us to manage the legal side of running an organization, so you can focus on your mission.
