Carter Law Group is a boutique law firm that exclusively represents tax-exempt, nonprofit, and socially responsible companies. They primarily represent grant-making private foundations, hospitals and health care institutions, and trade associations as well as nonprofits focused on education, social services, arts and culture, and economic development. They also represent socially responsible companies with respect to cause marketing and corporate giving strategies. They provide advice and counsel with respect to corporate, tax and regulatory issues with an emphasis on the laws that apply specifically to nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations. Clients come to them because they know they have the specialized experience and knowledge to provide effective and efficient representation. Clients also come to them because they know they share their values.

We became a B corporation to ensure our vision and values permeate every aspect of our practice and to align our business practices with those of our clients. The process of becoming a B corporation has helped us to further refine our own internal policies and business practices to become even more environmentally aware and socially responsible.
