Overview
We are passionate about supporting, upholding, and collaborating together with non-profit and non-government organisations and their protagonists. For decades, NGOs & NPOs looking to navigate the regulatory terrain in Palestine have been depending on the attorneys at Kurdi & Company to acquire the necessary legal guidance and support. We provide paid as well as pro bono services and advice to numerous nonprofit organisations operating in various sectors including environment, human rights, healthcare, democracy and dialog, startup incubation, women empowerment, green financing and high-impact ventures. Nonprofit organisations confront competing pressures in the present climate and have to face every challenge that for-profit businesses cope with every day, for example, labour matters, expenditure concerns coupled with litigation exposure. A nonprofit organisation’s choice, notwithstanding, is not only a question of the ‘primary concern;’ rather, its actions should be directed by its novel mission. We represent treaty-based organizations, multilateral organization, international and local NGOs. Expert legal guides and partners you need to steer your organisation through legal hurdles and prevent complications. Our firm is a forerunner in exhorting NPOs and has a unique stature among Palestinian law firms serving non-profit organisations.

As a highly experienced and accredited law practice with a well-rounded knowledge of the operation of different business sectors and nonprofits, we recognize that non-profit pioneers don't necessarily have the opportunity to gain expertise in the numerous legal and regulatory guidelines influencing their organisations.

Our team offer our clients' exhortation on all parts of tax-exempt & conventional financing, tax-exempt qualification, operation and fundraising, irrelevant business tax issues, organising and archiving charitable giving game plans, and the make-up of joint ventures or different investments including taxable entities.
