Professional Associations, Trade & Industrial Organizations

Witten LLP provides legal representation and advice to a variety of professional, commercial and philanthropic associations, professional regulatory bodies, trade unions, industry associations, not-for-profit corporations, and charitable organizations. Often our work for these groups includes a complete analysis of all issues that could impact on their business, and mapping effective legal strategies to ensure success.

Our experience includes:

• Organization and corporate governance
• Constitutional and legislative interpretation
• Business and commercial needs
• Arbitration and Alternate Dispute Resolution
• Conduct of disciplinary hearings
• Administrative law concerns including representation in applications for judicial review
• Employment and dismissal matters
• Fiduciary obligations
• Litigation

In an increasingly difficult and complex legal environment, many governing boards and executive directors have come to rely upon the support and advice that our lawyers are able to offer.
