CDLC's Collaborations
CDLC has forged collaborations with a range of institutions and attorneys to enhance our capacity to assist Oregon's tax-exempt corporations. CDLC has collaborated with over 80 pro bono attorneys, as well as with leaders of the Multnomah Bar Association's Nonprofit Project, to expand the legal assistance available to Oregon's tax-exempt corporations. We regularly partner with other nonprofit technical assistance and training providers, and we work closely with a wide variety of local, state and federal government agencies.
In a testament to CDLC's expertise, Lewis and Clark Law School has engaged CDLC to develop, launch, and operate the Law School's Community Development Law Project. Under this contract, CDLC staff will train law students to assist tax-exempt corporations with business transactions. CDLC attorneys will also teach weekly seminars on corporate, real estate, and employment law issues. This collaboration with the Law School will expand CDLC's capacity to represent clients. It will also enable CDLC to engage a new generation of business lawyers in the representation of nonprofit organizations.
