Trade Associations are uniquely organized adn operated entities. They involve joint cooperation of competitors, are generally tax exempt entities,  sometimes reflect disparate needs in the same industry, are involved in political contributions,  lobby the government, create and promote industry standards, educate and train, and they hold meetings and conventions worldwide. At the same time, they are like many other businesses with employees, real estate, technology, business arrangements and lawsuits - in the U.S. and abroad.

We have advised trade associations and business coalitions on the full range of legal issues that arise across their activities. Because of our experience, we know the business and political context in which they operate, as well as the special rules that apply to their activities.

Our lawyers in the Trade Association Industry Team are comprised of knowledgeable and experienced members of a cross-section of practices to respond to the unique requirements of these organizations.
