Transactional Advising

Under the guidance of Law School faculty and staff, students participating in the transactional component of the Lindsay and Matt Moroun Religious Liberty Clinic counsel a wide variety of religious organizations. Our Clinic helps religious organizations navigate a variety of tax, corporate, transactional, employment, and other strategic matters.

The Clinic has counseled an array of religious organizations, including:

• religious bodies and houses of worship,
• domestic and international religious ministries,
• religious orders,
• religious healthcare organizations,
• religious schools and universities,
• religious nonprofit housing providers,
• faith-based trade associations,
• social welfare organizations, and
• for-profit benefit corporations.

Among other services, the Clinic has assisted these organizations by:

• forming new non-profit entities,
• drafting articles, bylaws, and corporate policies,
• securing tax-exempt status for religious non-profit organizations,
• advising on religious freedom implications on employment and governance matters,
• counseling on asset protection strategies, and
• drafting and reviewing contracts and grant agreements.
