Overview

Being a responsible steward sometimes entails asking the obvious. Lawyers generally raise great questions and are valued for their curiosity and ability to spot issues, often just by asking the right questions at the right time. However, sometimes lawyers with different expertise don’t know enough to ask about what’s most essential when it comes to serving nonprofits. This session introduces critical questions lawyers should ask (but often don’t) as fiduciaries of or advisors to nonprofits. This session also explores why these questions don’t get asked (or asked at the right time) and covers how these unasked questions can put organizations at risk.

Recorded in May 2026.
