serve the legal needs of the nonprofit sector. We serve grantmakers, nonprofit service providers, individual and corporate donors, nonprofit advocacy groups, and others.

Adler & Colvin's lawyers and their staff are deeply gratified by our clients' contributions to a better world, and proud to provide them with legal services to support those contributions. As advocates for the nonprofit sector, they participate in committees of local, state, and national bar associations and help draft recommendations for improvements in laws and regulations. Members of their firm have testified before Congressional committees on issues of nonprofit law and have served on government advisory committees that focus on the nonprofit sector.

Adler & Colvin's attorneys believe it's important to share their knowledge not only with their clients but with the larger community. They present papers and lectures at statewide and national conferences of lawyers and accountants, and they publish articles in professional journals. Their principals and associates have taught the law of tax-exempt organizations to law students at Stanford University, Boalt Hall (UC Berkeley), and Golden Gate University, and to graduate students at the University of San Francisco and California State University / East Bay.
