Throughout that time period, representation of nonprofit organizations, including trade and professional associations, has been a key component of the firm’s practice.

While located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, we have major clients all over the State of Texas and Southwestern United States (as well as clients that go beyond those primary boundaries). Our clients’ businesses, however, have a much greater reach, as they operate nationally and internationally, resulting in us working on projects well beyond the State of Texas. From the standpoint of exempt organizations, we represent very small local organizations, from booster clubs to library associations, to state-wide and regional charitable organizations, to national organizations and organizations that work internationally.
