BUSINESS

Charities &
Non-Profits

KSW Lawyers has a long history of being part of and acting on behalf of local non-profit organizations in the Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Abbotsford areas.  We are proud to have been part of many philanthropic endeavors in the communities we serve.  

Our lawyers routinely act on behalf of non-profit organizations to assist with the unique legal issues that face these organizations.  We represent many charitable organizations ranging from health care societies, hospital boards, religious organizations, professional associations, conservation foundations, educational institutions, charitable foundations, non-profit sporting associations and seniors support groups.

Charities and Non-Profit Lawyers
Our expertise extends to all areas of charity and non-profit law. Here are some of the areas we regularly assist our clients with:
  • Incorporation – Incorporating your society will provides limited protection to its members and upon incorporation a charity becomes a separate legal entity (a corporation) and the corporation (not the members) is generally liable for its debts and obligations.  Additionally, we can assist with winding up a society when it is no longer in operation
  • Governance – Drafting and amending bylaws and policies providing advice regarding the administration of annual general meetings and creating special resolutions, dealing with member’s disputes and Civil Resolution Tribunal Applications. Advising on disputes and providing summary advice regarding privacy legislation
  • Planned giving – assisting charities in allowing their members and donors to set up gifts to the organization on the death of the donor
  • Employment – assisting with all workplace matters including creating employment contracts which limit severance liability and creating workplace policies for employees of the society. Assisting with hiring and dismissal planning
  • Insurance coverage – providing advice on insurance disputes and assisting with claims arising on behalf of and against the society
  • Tax planning – assisting with obtaining charitable status and ensuring continued eligibility for charitable tax benefits
  • Real Estate Transactions – advising on acquiring and disposing of real property and advice regarding negotiating and litigating terms of lease interests of the society
  • Contract Disputes – advising on and negotiating and enforcing contracts on behalf of the society; including commercial disputes and claims for debt
  • Estate Administration and litigation – advising charities who have received gifts under a donor’s will with disputes arising as a result of challenges to the validity of these gifts

Amy kindly helped coordinate a consultation with Jenson, and he was incredibly professional, kind, and informative. He listened carefully, answered my questions clearly, and provided helpful guidance. I recommend reaching out if you’re looking for trustworthy legal advice.

I could not be happier with how Sandy handled my case. He was extremely knowledgeable, understanding and empathetic. The outcome was more than what I could have hoped for. He helped me tremendously by going above and beyond, and I would recommend him 100%.

I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude from Mr. Rory Morgan and Pamela, for the exceptional work you both did on my case with ICBC. Your professionalism, dedication, and expertise truly made all the difference for me. From the very beginning, you took the time to understand the nuances of my situation and provided clear explanation, compassionate guidance every step of the way for many years until the case settlement completed. Your skill in navigating the complexities of my ICBC case and your effective communication through email, Zoom meetings, phone calls, or in-person discussions was greatly appreciated. I also valued your understanding of the cultural differences I was facing. I appreciated Pamela and your prompt responses to my questions and the way you kept me informed throughout the process for the past years. It was comforting to know that I had someone so capable advocating on my behalf with ICBC and to give me peace of mind. Thanks to your hard work, we reached a favorable resolution, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I am incredibly grateful to have had you as my lawyer and would highly recommend your services to anyone in need of legal advice. Thank you both again for everything!
