Partner Andy Ray and associate Julie Thompson spoke with Law360 about their pro bono work for the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund in its merger with the National Center for Transgender Equality. Andy noted that, similar to a business deal, a nonprofit merger requires review of grant agreements, governance structures, leases, collective bargaining agreements, and ensuring the organizations’ missions align.
“This mission comes first,” Ray said.
Julie said working with clients who are “so kind and positive and excited” about the merger has been rewarding.
