Private Education: Business Contracts, Construction and Facilities
LCW represents private schools and colleges in various business, construction and facilities matters. We provide a full range of advice related to business administration, including contract review and contract negotiations. We advise on all aspects of construction projects, including contract negotiations and course of construction issues. We also handle facilities issues such as facilities use, leasing, and ADA issues. Our clients trust us to provide risk assessment, offer legal options, and strive to efficiently resolve claims if they arise.
Expertise
We provide assistance in all areas of contracts, including transportation, ride-share, travel vendors, software licensing, food services, janitorial services, credit card use, purchasing, licensing, international student programs, technology, telecommunications, fundraising, and donations. We also work with clients to assess potential liabilities, risks, and problems associated with each contract, and assist clients to negotiate terms and conditions to address such issues.
Nonprofit organizations must navigate a range of federal, state, and local tax considerations in connection with their operations, business activities, and real property. Even tax-exempt entities may face income, sales, use, or property tax obligations depending on the nature of their activities and transactions. We advise clients on identifying potential tax exposure, evaluating compliance obligations, and structuring operations and agreements to manage risk and support their exempt purposes.
We also assist nonprofits in assessing reporting requirements, analyzing available exemptions, and addressing tax issues that arise in contracts, real estate transactions, and other business arrangements. Our goal is to provide practical guidance that integrates tax considerations into broader operational and strategic decision-making.
