Arbutus Law Group works with Indigenous not-for-profit and charitable organizations to build effective, accountable, and sustainable governance that reflects each organization’s own values and approaches to decision-making. We advise on incorporation and registration at the federal, provincial, and territorial levels, and assist with establishing new organizations and charitable foundations.
In response to each client’s unique circumstances, we provide guidance on selecting the most appropriate legal and governance structure, drafting and updating bylaws and policies, and developing systems to support day-to-day operations. We also help organizations meet their ongoing filing and compliance requirements.
Our team assists with a wide range of related legal needs, including negotiating funding and service agreements, administering programs, managing partnerships, and addressing employment and operational matters. We provide practical, real-world advice that supports effective governance and long-term sustainability.
