Non-Profits & Religious Institutions
Non-profits and religious institutions play a vital role in shaping our communities, meeting needs that neither the private sector nor government can fully address. At Llopiz Wizel, we understand the unique legal, operational, and ethical challenges these organizations face. Whether navigating internal governance, regulatory compliance, or litigation, our firm provides thoughtful, mission-aligned counsel to help these institutions thrive.
Churches and Religious Institutions
Churches and other religious institutions serve a vital role in our society, serving as community hubs, outreach, filling significant gaps in charity and other community-based needs. These organizations often face unique challenges, requiring the application of expertise and wisdom.
​
Our team has extensive experience representing religious organizations in all areas, including corporate matters, internal investigations, employment disputes, criminal investigations, morality clauses, doctrinal disputes, construction projects, and real estate sales and acquisitions. Our representation has included services as general counsel, dispute resolution, third-party investigators, and litigators when necessary.
Non-Profit Organizations
Non-Profit Organizations face many of the challenges that face businesses, while organizing volunteers and others to support the public good. These organizations often need corporate representation, assistance with agreements, employment disputes, and litigation. Some may benefit from sovereign immunity defenses depending on their public function and the degree of control government bodies may exercise over them.
Public Hospitals
Our attorneys have provided services to community-based hospitals, including instrumental services leading to the implementation of open-heart surgery across the State of Florida in five community hospitals during a time when the administrative challenges available to competing private hospitals enabled the private hospital chains to stop any significant community hospital expansion.
