WHY DWT?
Representing clients in the "independent sector" is a passion and the full-time focus of DWT attorneys in the TEO Group, rather than a part-time aside to for-profit corporate practice. This emphasis on the unique aspects of the exempt community is reflected in our attorneys' in-depth substantive legal knowledge and experience. Whether you are an established foundation or a public charity, an individual or business interested in entrepreneurial venture philanthropy or cross-border giving, no firm knows more about the issues affecting you or your organization.
