Introduction To DWT's TEO Group Practice Area

TEO Group Search:

America's nonprofit sector is the fastest growing segment of our economy. This growth creates both new opportunities and new challenges. Tax-exempt organizations -- and those seeking to establish one -- need the best and most current legal experience to guide them through the maze of tax and other legal issues. That's where our Tax-Exempt Organizations Group (more commonly known as TEO) comes in.

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.

CLIENTS
DWT's clients run the gamut from local community foundations to individuals setting up family foundations; from regional arts and social service organizations to some of the nation's largest charities, health care and educational institutions.
