A recognized leader and innovator, our Tax Exempt Organizations group is one of the first law firm practices devoted entirely to the representation of charities and other tax-exempt organizations.

 Our rich history puts us at the forefront of industry developments, and sustains our ongoing work with major nonprofit institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, The Skirball Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

Exempt organizations rely on Milbank to advise on novel and complex issues requiring special expertise―transferring technology and intellectual property, using taxable subsidiaries for revenue-generating activities, organizing joint ventures with for-profit institutions, structuring investment vehicles, grant-making to foreign organizations, and structuring and using donor-advised funds.
