Toronto Business Lawyers Assisting Not-for-Profits & Charities

Not-for-profit organizations and charities operate under a unique legal framework due to their special tax status and related compliance requirements. As a result of their respective specialized structures, both charities and not-for-profit organizations require guidance and advice from lawyers who have significant experience representing clients in these distinct areas.

At Baker & Company, we have more than 30 years of experience advising clients in this highly specialized area of law. We rely on our interdisciplinary knowledge across a wide range of practice areas to provide fulsome, broad-reaching advice that touches on every type of issue that may arise in the charitable and not-for-profit world.
