elcome to our third annual “Women in the Law” Business Edition.

HEN I CAME ABOARD
Best Lawyers this spring, I was delighted to learn that my first ed itoria l u nderta k i ng wou ld be the “Women in the Law” Business Edition. Now in its third year, this special edition continues to honor the voices and accomplishments of female attorneys specializing in nonprofit and charities law. To say that this past year has been eventful would be an understatement. Continuous changes to the political climate, the whiplash reshaping of policy, bold innovations in technology, and the amplification of social dialogue have all made marks on the business world. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act President Trump signed into law late last year, for instance, will have major implications across all subsectors of the nonprofit world, as explained in detail by tax attorney Elizabeth Atkinson. State legislation is also making waves on a national level: Employment attorneys Sharon Stiller, Rachel Demarest Gold, and Stephanie Nott provide an expert breakdown of New York’s Paid Family Leave Policy and what it could mean for the rest of the country as other states follow suit.
Environmental legislation perhaps most over t ly demonst rates t he struggle between local and national concerns, and public and private interests. Hayley Carlock, the leader of Scenic Hudson’s Environmental Advocacy department, reflects on her work protecting New York’s great river and offers an important perspective on how corporations can avoid messy public disputes. Our featured Women in the Law section was one of the most personally rewa rd i ng pa rts of t h is issue to compile. My conversation with our cover honoree, Rosemary Fei, left me with the takeaway that one should never settle for anything less than the perfect fit—advice that resonates beyond the legal or nonprofit sectors and should be heeded by f ledgling and veteran professionals alike. The subsequent comments offered by our additional 11 “Lawyer of the Year” Honorees in Nonprofit/Charities Law underscore her sentiments, as each woman explains how she fou nd her calling—and leveraged it into a career.
Finally, the ever-inspiring Patricia Brown Holmes punctuates this issue with her commentary in The Verdict, writing about starting a nonprofit to provide scholarships for young women like herself—ambitious, AfricanAmerican, and looking to make an impact in the legal field. Brown Holmes was one of 20 founding members of the Black Women Lawyers’ Association, which has bloomed into an institution for women and men alike, mentoring many of the future civic leaders of Chicago. Using her own experience as her guide, she encourages every lawyer to look toward the nonprofit world as a model for the future. These pieces by our contributors, and the responses of our featured lawyers, all highlight the importance of com mu n it y i nvolvement a nd mentorship in their professions. If nonprofits exemplify the direction in which the rest of the legal field ought to go, then the women in this issue will be the ones to lead it there.

of law-school graduates across the country t h is spri ng, t he futu re of t he profession appears to be—by a slim majority—female. Women were 50.3 percent of law-school grads in 2017 and are 51.3 percent of those currently enrolled, according to widely published data citing the industr y’s progress on gender equality. At several Top 20–ranked institutions, women outnumber men in both the most recent and graduating classes: Berkeley Law’s 2020 class is 65 percent female; NYU Law’s fall 2017 J.D. class, 55 percent; Yale Law School’s class of 2020, 53 percent; Georgetown Law’s 2016 entering class, 53 percent; Northwestern Pritzker’s 2017 entering J.D. class, 52 percent; Vanderbilt’s class of 2020, 52 percent; and UCLA Law’s 2017 entering class, 51 percent—all according to the schools’ own demographic figures. “ There a re now more opportunities for women in law tha n ever before,” says Linda Bray Chanow, executive director of the University of Texas School of Law’s Center for Women in Law, a national nonprofit that provides opportunities and mentoring to female attorneys and law students. “Yes, we’ve had challenges—women have been graduating near 50 percent for

two decades or more. [Underwhelming female representation in the field] has been a longstanding problem, but we see a lot of reason for optim ism. At my center, we have one of the largest and most prestigious groups of women associates, and watching all that they’re accomplishing in the legal profession is quite extraordinary.” The class breakdowns from the schools above are significant, given that women’s enrollment in law school began to outpace men’s only in 2016. And the optimism of those leading summits and conducting st ud ies on t rends i n women’s lega l education can be contagious. Will greater numbers of women entering law school, though, lead to material gains—salaries, partnerships, other opportunities—once they begin their careers? Some current figures, like those published in a damning
Law360 report in July 2017, suggest they might not. Su r vey i ng more t h a n 300 f i r ms, Law360 discovered that “the amount of women at the top ranks of law firms— those who are equity partners—continues to hover just shy of 20 percent, only slightly higher tha n the 19.2 percent tally Law360 found the year before.” Sa la r y d ispa rities a re equa l ly a r rest i ng. Med ia n pay for f u l l-t i me female lawyers was just 77.4 percent that of their male peers as of 2014, according to the American Bar Association’s ABA Journal, citing Census data. Across all jobs in the field—including paralegal, judiciary, legal support, and other work both skilled and unskilled—women’s pay was 51.6 percent of men’s. For women of color, the numbers are more alarming still. “Nearly 50 percent of
law-firm offices nationwide do not have a single woman-of-color partner within that office,” says Chanow, whose center is currently running a national study on the experiences of minority women in law school. “That number is a glaring statistic that we’re working to change. When you think of women, you have to think of all women, and those numbers for women of color are just so low.” The gap between women’s academic achievements (they tend to outperform men) and their subsequent careers (they tend not to) is not limited to the law. Although in certain American cities, young women are out-earning young men—with data suggesting a link between women’s undergraduate education and their later earning power—in competitive f ields like medicine, technology, a nd finance, the proportional relationship

between what women study and what they earn is not clear-cut. I n 2 017, one ye a r a f t e r wome n f i rst nudged past men i n law-school enrollment, they made the same historic leap in medical school: At 50.7 percent, more women than men are now on the academic path to become doctors. In 2016, though, female doctors earned 26.5 percent less than men. In 2017, that figure grew, to 27.7 percent. For doctors and lawyers alike, then, the pay chasm persists (or has widened) even though the education gap has closed. The academic achievements of women in each discipline—which for now are undercut by a lack of concomitant earning power— parallel each other in more ways than one:
10 |
Both law and medical school offer a path to prestigious employment; both law and medicine are male-dominated fields; and female students at both types of schools have, historically, gone on to earn and achieve less than their male peers. Detractors who dismiss the gender pay gap often say that women earn less than men simply because they choose less-lucrative fields, such as child care, or major in less-remunerative subjects, such as art and design. Yet this argument has no bearing on data that show one man and one woman following the same road, diverging only in their earnings and the level to which they’re promoted.

tell the whole story—and that, as much as anything, is actually reason for optimism. Although the industry might not see pay-and-promotion changes ref lected at higher levels for a few years yet, women in law are making progress—thanks in no small part to the work of organizations that address the immediate material problems t hat i mpede women’s adva ncement. Research like that which Chanow’s center is conducting, along with mentoring and networking programs that connect women with other women in senior and partnerlevel legal positions, are effective ways to help new graduates secure their crucial first job after law school.

offers free programs, including writer residencies, networking opportunities, online resources, a nd fellowships a nd scholarships, to female law students. The American Bar Association’s Commission on Women in the Profession, meanwhile, releases regular reports about the state of the industry that in turn help shape t he d i rect ion of t hese orga n i zat ions a nd schools. “I’m one of t he more opti m istic,” Ch a now s ay s . “ Not e ve r yone’s a n optimist.

general counsel—just as another woman retires or changes careers. It will take more than one graduating class to equalize the number of women and men in top legal positions, of course. It will take a few more classes still to gauge what effect more women graduating from law school—and the combined benefits of the resources, initiatives, and fellowships newly available to them—might have on the profession overall. “The momentum is there,” Chanow says of the work she and others are doing. “We’re at a time when it’s [important] whether or not we capture this moment.

TAKING A
STANCE
The era of “no comment” to social and political questions is over. But what risk does the rise of so-called activist CEOs hold for a company?
IN THE C-SUITE
By Kate Rockwood
N
O T L ONG AG O,
corporate leaders everywhere followed an implicit rule when it came to hotbutton social issues: Better silent than sorry. Any public stance, they reasoned, would alienate some segment of employees, customers, or investors. Better to stay quiet and focus on making money. All that has changed, however, as polarizing debates over gun control, immigration, climate change, transgender rights, and gender parity have come to dominate the national conversation. Fueled by younger staffers and consumers’ demand to know where companies stand, CEOs at behemoths as disparate as Ford Motor Company, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Salesforce, and Merck have released public statements regarding a variety of issues. Though the spike in so-called CEO activism has coincided with Donald Trump’s presidency, observers of the space say it has been ongoing for years. “It’s a pre-Trump phenomenon,” says Doug Chia, executive director of the Governance Center for The Conference Boa rd, a Chicagobased think tank dedicated to corporate issues. “Before Trump, we saw some companies taking

very strong stances when state laws were discriminatory against LGBT individuals.” Indeed, dozens of companies— including Facebook, Apple, and Bank of America—publicly decried or threatened to pull business out of North Carolina after the state passed a law in early 2016 that restricted cities’ ability to pass anti-discrimination ordinances. Since then, CEOs have taken ever-morefrequent public-policy stands. The Supreme Court recognized companies’ right to do so in the 2010 case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, when it ruled that the government may not prevent corporations or unions from spending money on political support. “There’s no question that companies have the right to speak out,” says Don Mayer, a professor of business ethics and legal studies at the University of Denver. “The question is, when is it the right thing to speak out, and on what issues?” Legal perspective on that query is mixed, he says. Some firmly believe that public companies “belong” to their shareholders and, as such, must focus entirely on creating shareholder wealth. Any action or public comment that puts that wealth at risk could be viewed as a breach of fiduciary duty that might lead to legal action in civil court. But the idea of shareholder primacy has been challenged, most notably by Lynn Stout, a professor at Cornell Law School who passed away in April. “Contrary to what many believe, U.S. corporate law does not impose any enforceable legal duty on corporate directors or executives of public corporations to maximize profits or share price,” she wrote in a 2012 post on Harvard Law School’s Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation.
BUSINESS EDITION | SUMMER 2018
companies and brands have assumed such a powerful role in people’s lives that customers, especially millennials, look to give their business to companies aligned with their own political and social beliefs. As a result, many corporations have ditched the decades-old avoidance strategy and gone on the offensive. More than half of S&P 500 companies today have a special board committee to advise on social-responsibility issues, versus just 12 percent in 1990, according to research by Mary-Hunter McDonnell, a management professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Her research finds that corporate-sponsored activism significantly lowers the number of challenges brought against it by outside social activists. In other words, CEO activism can effectively shut down the threat of contentious third-party campaigns by aligning the company with activist allies. Another advantage of going public with social stances: Entering the spotlight enables executives to feel that they’re placing themselves and their firm “on the right side of history,” Chia says. One example: As the #MeToo movement has ushered gender issues to the national fore, some companies have agreed to publicly address the persistent chasm between male and female pay. Jewelle Bickford, a New York–based partner at Evercore Wealth Management, cofounded Paradigm for Parity, a high-powered group of business leaders who pledge to close the gap by 2030. Major companies including Accenture, Bank of America, and Walmart have joined Paradigm for Parity’s coalition, which promises to implement five –point action plan that will help them achieve gender parity within the next 12 years. Executives stand to doubly benefit by going public in favor of gender parity, as exemplified by Marc Benioff, CEO of tech firm Salesforce, who told his story on 60 Minutes. “Marc sort of personified most wellmeaning CEOs [in that he] found it hard to contemplate he has a wage gap at his company,” Bickford says. “But he committed to actually measuring it, and then he GENDER PARITY committed very publicly to reconciling it.” Salesforce has since spent $8 million to CLIMATE CHANGE equalize its employees’ pay; Benioff and the company have received a deluge of TRANSGENDER RIGHTS positive press as a result. Salesforce also stands to benefit financially if women are equally paid and promoted into leadership IMMIGRATION roles, according to Bickford, who cites research from Credit Suisse that companies with senior operating roles filled at least half by women produce returns on equity that are, on average, 19 percent better than those dominated by males. GU N I ndeed , Lesl ie Ga i nes-Ross, ch ief CO reputation strategist at PR giant Weber NT RO Shandwick, says authentic, thoughtful CEO L stances are among the best ways to improve business as younger people enter the workforce and become serious consumers. “For compa n ies look i ng to at t ract millennials in terms of sales, recruitment, and increasing word of mouth,” she says, “CEO activism is hard to overlook.”
In her book The Shareholder Value Myth, Stout argued that the pursuit of profits above all is a stale idea that mistakenly pits the interests of shareholders against those of society. Instead, she wrote, new legal and economic frameworks demonstrate “better, more sophisticated, and more useful understandings of the role of public corporations and of good corporate governance” that go far beyond propping up the stock price in the short term. Even if shareholder value is championed, examples of CEO activism show that considered comments rarely hurt a firm financially. Apple CEO Tim Cook, an early activist who spoke out publicly against laws allowing individuals to invoke their religious beliefs to refuse service to others, has watched his company’s stock nearly double in the last two years. His belief that no one should be allowed to discriminate against gays and lesbians has been well-received by Apple employees in the liberal stronghold of Silicon Valley. Moreover, Apple’s market position is strong enough that Cook’s comments don’t stop conservatives from buying iPhones and Macs. Research conducted by Aaron Chatterji, an associate professor at Duke University, and Michael Toffel, a professor at Harvard Business School, underscores this point. Through a market-research firm, the pair asked more than 2,100 people how likely they were to buy Apple products. Some were told about Cook’s stand against discrimination; others weren’t. They found that those who were informed of the CEO’s stance were more likely to buy something—largely because customers who already agreed with Cook reacted well. CEOs don’t have a strong ability to change people’s minds on social issues, Chatterji and Toffel found, but they’re quite able to increase affinity among like-minded customers.

NO TO “NO COMMENT”
As lawyers and academics ponder the implications of CEOs’ social stances, many advisors believe executives have no choice but to put forth a well-defined position that aligns with the view of the board and major stakeholders. “The easiest thing for all lawyers to do is say ‘no’: No, the CEO should not comment on anything with a remotely socia l a ngle,” Ch ia says. “But t here a re cou nt er va i l i ng pres s u res from customers, employees, and sha reholders who a re saying, ‘Those days are over, and we’re not going to let you get away with a ‘no comment.’ ” The rapidly evolving voice of corporate America represents two distinct changes in the business world, he adds: First, the enduring l i n k b et we e n pro -bu s i ne s s economic values and socially conservative ones has unraveled rapidly as tech companies l a r ge l y p o p u l a t e d b y millennials have grown in prominence. Second,

THE PROMISED LAND REAL WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND SOPHISTICATED PRACTICE AT A WOMEN - OWNED LAW FIRM By Jennifer Alvey
L
YNNETTE WARMAN ARRIVED at her interview lunch in Dallas with Culhane Meadows founder Kelly Culhane and partner Grant Walsh in 2013 toting an enviable résumé: years having been named a “Texas Super Lawyer,” serving as a fellow at prestigious law colleges, and assembling a hefty book of business. So what did she want from the next stage of her career? Warman laid her cards on the table: She wanted to keep practicing law, sure, but she also sought the time and flexibility to open an art studio with her sister and spend time with her grandchildren. She wanted to bill fewer than 2,500 hours annually—but still get paid handsomely. It sounds presumptuous, if not crazy. Yet Warman and many other female partners have come to Culhane Meadows because they refused to settle for business as usual—and the firm gave them the opportunity to do just that.
UNORTHODOX, UNPLUGGED— AND EFFECTIVE
Culhane Meadows, founded in 2013 by a group of Biglaw lawyers who wanted to practice law differently, is almost more a state of mind than a traditional law firm. Each of the seven offices has only a small physical presence; the vast majority of lawyers there work from home offices. While the firm’s legal business address is in Texas, there isn’t a headquarters office. There are no associates here, only partners. There are no swank office spaces. There’s no marketing budget. The only administrative assistants are those hired by individual attorneys; the firm itself hires none. There are, however, many women—40 percent of partners and 60 percent of management are female. Culhane Meadows recently received a coveted certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise from the 14 |
Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. Culhane Meadows lawyers have no minimum billing quotas. Freed from the tyranny of the billable-hours clock, these lawyers say they get to focus on simply making clients happy. Sometimes this means a lot of hours in a short time, but sometimes it means leaving at 3 p.m. to pick up the kids from school. Lawyers here even take unplugged vacations. When we reached Heather Haughian, a co-founding Culhane Meadows partner, she had just returned from hiking in Peru with her family. For the first time in her career, she told clients that she would not be checking email while she was gone. (She meant it, too—mostly. She confesses to a few lapses, but only to look for “the house is on fire” messages. There weren’t any.) Haughian’s clients either cooled their heels until she returned or worked with other Culhane Meadows partners if the matter couldn’t wait. “I was more worried about being gone than my clients were, because even though they knew I had coverage while I was out, it can be hard to truly unplug,” Haughian says. When Kim Verska started practicing law, she was told by a female partner that first she should make partner, and only then try to have babies. Verska bucked that conventional wisdom and had children first, opting for part-time status with a prominent Atlanta firm. Eventually, though, that company told her she’d been part-time “too long,” and that she either had to go full-time or leave. So she left. After a stint at another firm, Verska joined Culhane Meadows. She has no fixed office location and often travels with her kids in the summer—she’s working,

yes, but she’s choosing how much to work, and where. It’s all of a piece with the Culhane Meadows business model, which depends on two factors above all: the use of integrated technology throughout the firm and a transparent formula for translating billings into paychecks.
RISE OF THE MACHINES
“Technology has forever changed the practice of law,” Lynnette Warman says. Lawyers no longer attend closings in person, nor are original documents signed in blue ink. What’s more, Warman and Verska point out, technology enables them to throw fewer lawyers at a case than they might have, say, 20 years ago. More than once Warman has attended a large creditor meeting with one other attorney to which other firms sent four or five. “That’s partly culture,” she says, “and partly a technology issue.” Haughian explains that Culhane Meadows has used cloud technology from the start. All billing, document management, and financial data are cloud-based; the firm uses Microsoft Link for frequent video chats. Verska is a fan of Culhane Meadow’s conflict-checking technology in particular. At other firms, she says, conflicts took forever to run. “Now it’s nearly instantaneous.” Warman has her favorite tech, too, but it’s not firm-wide: It’s her Fitbit, the wearable gadget that reminds her to walk around throughout the day. She started by walking 1,000 steps several times daily. Now, “after 10,000 steps, I can feel more energy and have a sharper brain,” she says. She has lost 100 pounds. Would she have been able to take all those strolls during the workday at her former firms? “Probably not.”
OPEN BOOKS, BESPOKE BILLING
Unlike at most firms, anyone at Culhane Meadows can examine the firm’s financials. Everyone therefore has access to the financials of all partners’ matters, not just their own. “Other firms,” Haughian notes wryly, “are not as keen on full transparency as we are.” One of Culhane Meadows’ core values is that the formula used to pay partners is straightforward and objective. Basically, partners keep 80 percent of what they bill. If a partner originates a client, Verska says, she keeps that origination credit, without exception. The Culhane Meadows way, she allows, isn’t for everyone. “It’s an eatwhat-you-kill model,” she says. The firm has very few partners who don’t have their own significant book of business. Like all its attorneys, Verska sets her own hourly rate. It’s comparable to that of a senior associate at a big firm, she says, but clients get far more expertise for their money. “I’ve built a large book of business [at Culhane Meadows],” she says. “I make more money than before, both because it’s easier to get business at this firm due to its innovative model and flexible rates, and because I keep far more.”
“FREED FROM THE TYRANNICAL TICKING OF THE BILLABLE HOURS CLOCK, THESE LAWYERS SAY THEY GET TO FOCUS SIMPLY ON MAKING CLIENTS HAPPY.”
she says, but the firm’s Dallas office held its holiday party there. Warman continues to thrive professionally. She was named to The Best Lawyers in America® list for 2017– 2018 in bankruptcy law. The Culhane Meadows model has paid big dividends for her and others like her. “This is the first place I’ve ever worked where I didn’t feel like [it was] mostly good old boys who are at the table,” she says. “I feel more relaxed and emboldened to speak out.”

COURTING A CROWD
The biggest challenge at Culhane Meadows might be the lack of office mates. As Warman says, “I can’t just walk down the hall” and strike up a conversation. Verska, too, has found that she misses the camaraderie of a formal business setting. To mitigate that somewhat, she and another partner in Atlanta have decided to rent office space together. In part to foster connections among the firm’s nearly 60 partners, all Culhane Meadows of fices have mandatory monthly events. In Houston, Warman says, partners have spent time by the pool and hung out over drinks. The company also holds a monthly call for all partners and hosts a firm retreat every October. So what about that art gallery Warman wanted to open, by the way? Not only was taking the time to do it not a problem,

TAKES LEAVE
HOW EMPIRE STATE BUSINESSES ARE PREPARING TO IMPLEMENT THE COUNTRY’S MOST PROGRESSIVE PAID-LEAVE PROGRAM. By Sharon P. Stiller, Rachel Demarest Gold, and Stephanie Nott

always taken great pride in the quality of its statewide workforce. Of late, though, the state has grown concerne d ab out the increasing numbers of young people, especially those upstate, who leave for greener pastures after they finish school. Retaining and protecting workers—and thereby making New York a more attractive place for those young people to put down roots—is a big part of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s agenda. His primary policy item to that end: paid family leave, or PFL. Since 1993, when Congress passed the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (F M L A) , A m e r i c a n s w h o work for companies with 50 or more employees have been able to take leave

to care for ailing relatives or be with their new children (adopted or foster children qualify). The law granted 12 weeks of job-protected time off, but it left the particulars of subsidizing it to companies and state governments. As a result, unless their employer offers additional paid leave, few people can take full advantage of FMLA—the financial strain of three months with no paycheck is too great to bear. So in 2016, New York mandated the country’s broadest job-andwage leave protections; the law took effect this year.
P ioneer ing P rogr a ms
In 2002, California became the first state to provide PFL. Its law, which took effect in 2004, covers all private-sector workers with up to six weeks of partial pay. As of this January 1, the Golden State’s wage-replacement rate is between 60 and 70 percent (depending on income). New Jersey followed suit in 2009 with its Family Temporary Disability Leave Law, which applies to all employees in the state and provides up to two-thirds of a person’s average weekly wage (capped at $637) for up to six weeks. It also offers benefits to care for a newborn within 12 months of birth; for an adopted child within 12 months of placement; and for a qualifying family member with a serious health condition. Leave can be taken all at once or intermittently. Rhode Island’s program, Temporary Caregiver Insurance, became available to all workers in the Ocean State in 2014; it permits recipients to collect 60 percent of their salary for four weeks. Washington, D.C., enacted PFL in February 2017 that will take effect July 1, 2020. Washington State did the same last July; its law will kick in on January 1, 2020.

Summer Business Edition, Best Lawyers has chosen to highlight 12 women for their work in nonprofit/ charities law. All are at the top of their field, but they have more in common than just their professional acumen. Whether they fell into nonprofit law by a happy accident, developed a liking for it through political involvement, or got into it via service on boards, they’ve all found their passion—and embraced it. Women excel in all facets of the law, provided they’re given the resources

and opportunities to do so. The profession is vast, and different practice specialties bring a variety of expectations, challenges, and rewards. T he dozen women we highlight here best exemplify the strengths of nonprofit-law attorneys: Without fail, each emphasized her role in her community when discussing her practice with us. Many have worked from both sides of the table, having led nonprofit organizations before going on to counsel them, and maintain strong ties to the groups and causes for which they continue to fight.
Taking on additional responsibilities as community leaders is no small feat for attorneys already taxed by demanding professional and personal lives. Yet these women sit on museum and hospital boards, volunteer for school fundraisers and children’sliteracy groups, and launch mentoring initiatives for young women at their firms. Maybe it’s the nature of their work, or perhaps they’re especially bright and dedicated. But any lawyer— man or woman, practicing in nonprofit law or anything else—can certainly learn something from what makes these 12 women such standouts.

COVER STORY
For the Greater Good
San Francisco nonprofit specialist Rosemary Fei on advice for young careerist women, the sector’s Trump threat, and the sheer satisfaction of helping make the world a better place. Interview by Nancy Lippincott
Y
OU COULD SAY
Rosemary Fei embarked on her legal career with some reluctance. After obtaining an undergraduate business degree, she applied on a whim, as she tells it, to a single law program and was accepted. For all Fei ’s humility explaining how she got into the profession, some gloating would nonetheless be warranted: That one program to which she was accepted was Harvard Law School. After graduation, Fei joined Michael Dukakis’s 1988 presidential campaign as its federal election law compliance officer and deputy budget director. Follow ing Dukak is’s defeat, she spent two years at a general business law firm as a transactional attorney because the managing partner told
her that she wasn’t aggressive enough to be a successful litigator. Fei might have quit law entirely after that episode, she says, had she not serendipitously stumbled upon an opportunity with a boutique threeperson law firm in San Francisco, Silk Adler & Colvin. Fei admits she walked into the lunch interview thinking, “I don’t want to be a lawyer anymore,” but walked out as the firm’s first official associate hire. Twenty-seven years later, Fei is a principal with the firm—now known as Adler & Colvin—serves on the board of directors of CalNonprofits, and is vice-chair of the Law Developments of the Exempt Organizations Committee of the Tax Section of the American Bar Association. Having devoted her life’s work to nonprofit law, Fei exhibits gratitude and admiration

for a specialty she continues to find enriching, meaningful, and uniquely nurturing to women and minorities.
What drew you to nonprofit law— and what kept you there?
Clients view business lawyers as a transaction cost, and there’s often no sense of accomplishing something for them, let alone helping the world, making the world a better place, or leaving it better than when you arrived. For me, at least, that sense of working toward something larger wasn’t part of that practice. What I found practically the first week I walked into this practice of nonprofit law, where I had a lot to learn, was that the clients were passionate about various ways in which they felt they could make the world better. I found this so much more fulfilling. I love that I can feel like I’m helping

In addition to that, I do a fair amount of advising of religious organizations, which present some really interesting First Amendment issues and are regulated differently than the rest of the nonprofit sector. Lastly, I do a lot of governance. Ongoing advice, governance structuring, member rights, board disputes, membership disputes, that kind of thing. So it’s a lot of fun. I am so blessed to have found this practice, because I’m quite convinced I would not be a lawyer if I had not found it.
There are so many ways I could answer that. The entire sector is wrestling with the fallout from the new tax law and how that’s going to affect it in terms of charitable giving. There were also a lot of very specific provisions in that law that affected subsectors, and for the most part, I think the changes seem to indicate a suspicion of the nonprofit sector, which for such a long time has [been so] trusted by the public. I worry about that a lot. I also think that the limited funding of the IRS and some of the limits put on the IRS’s ability to properly regulate the sector are really going to damage [nonprofits] in the long run. Right now, for example, the process for getting an exemption for your organization amounts to more of a registration process than a real application with a real review. There’s a lot of evidence that that is resulting in a lot of organizations being recognized that don’t qualify. For some of them that’s just inadvertent— they don’t understand the rules, but they managed to get a 501(c)(3) letter
feel like it needs a strong regulatory framework. It needs real enforcement against people who are abusing it, but also a gentle hand and some understanding when people who have only the best of intentions screw up. I don’t see the bad actors so much as I see that group, the people with good intentions who screw up. It can be so hard and so expensive to fix things, for example, if they just didn’t know that there were filings to do for years, and they lose their exemption.
Can you speak to any of the unique challenges women face in the legal industry?
You know, I’m not only female, but I’m also a member of an ethnic racial minority; I’m Chinese-American. It’s been interesting because there are times when my white male colleagues have found that because this sector is diverse—and the progressive side of the sector is very interested in The Trump administration has been, promoting diversity, including in unfortunately, one of those fulltheir legal counsel—being a member employment acts for my kind of law, of a minority, and being a woman, has particularly here in San actually been a businessFrancisco, although we “The entire sector is wrestling with the fallout from development plus. have clients all across the new tax law and how that’s going to affect it in Not all the time, but on the country, and even balance I think it has been terms of charitable giving.” internationally.

within my firm, you know? So either way, it’s great: We have a very collegial atmosphere, and I really appreciate that I have not faced the kinds of obstacles that I think women generally face in the legal field.
What advice do you have for women just embarking on their career in law?
I would say you probably still need to have a pretty thick skin, and try not to be too sensitive. While you want to stand up for yourself, you want to pick your battles, and I try to be tolerant without letting people . . . I try to hold people accountable for acting respectfully and all that. I don’t mean to sound like I’m in any way saying anyone should put up with sexual harassment, but I think there can be things that fall short of that kind of malevolent, venally motivated activity. That’s more of an educational challenge. If you’re a woman, if you’re a minority, I know there are people who want to say, “Look, it’s not my job to help you understand what it’s like to be X, Y, or Z.” But I feel we all have an obligation to try to help those around us who don’t understand, understand. And it’s also OK to take the route I’ve taken, which is to mostly get away from it. I mean, I did deal with race and gender discrimination much earlier in my career; I just haven’t had to deal with it in a long time in any serious way.
Do you think that’s the result of a general change of the times, or the fact that you’ve focused your professional development on a welcoming field?
I think in part it’s the sector I serve, as I said. That’s a lot of it. I also have seen colleagues of mine, often women, whom I respect deeply, who don’t get the respect within their large law firms because their nonprofit client base is perceived as being less valuable.
Why do you think that is?
There’s a huge emphasis on profit, and if something’s called “nonprofit,” there’s a perception that it’s just . . . [Adler & Colvin founding partner] Tom Silk had the vision to realize that this could be a paying practice. I don’t get it as much anymore, but I used to, when I told people what I did, they would say, “Can you do that and even make a living?” The answer is yes. And now I don’t get that question as much.

Quarles & Brady partner and Harvard Law alumna, Janice E. Rodgers draws on years of experience to advise a range A of nonprofits, focusing in particular on political activity and organizing.
“Most of the nonprofits I advise are 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organizations, which are prohibited from participating or intervening in a political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate for public office,” she says. She also works to promote women’s representation in the legal profession, counting herself a member of, inter alia, the Chicago Foundation for Women and Chicago Women in Philanthropy; she’s also the former director of the Women’s Issues Network. “I’ve worked with various women-focused organizations over the years,” Rodgers says. “Women Employed is another that I strongly support.

The work now is more focused on low-income women and girls, and the need to include men and those from diverse communities in working toward solutions. It’s a stronger emphasis than ever.” Yet one cause still animates her more than any other: “The empowerment of women and girls to make their own choices in all aspects of their lives remains paramount,” she says. “Having a daughter and son, and now a granddaughter, just emphasizes the importance of getting all this right—both immediately and for the future.”

A Taxing New World for NonProfits Extensive changes to U.S. tax law will have significant effects on the nonprofit sector. What to expect—and how to cope. By Elizabeth Atkinson
T
HE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT,
signed into law by President Trump at the end of 2017, ushered in sweeping changes that will affect every kind of taxpaying entity in the United States. Its enactment on December 22 prompted heated debate: Does the new law favor the middle class or the wealthy? Small businesses or large corporations? One sector that got hit hard, though, was barely mentioned at all: nonprofits. The law’s overall impact on nonprofit and charitable organizations is nuanced and multilayered. Some effects are indirect; other changes create immediate new taxes for these groups. Here’s a rundown of some key provisions.
New Excise Taxes
The new excise tax on college and university charitable endowments is 1.4 percent of net investment income. This will affect a relatively small number of endowments—those of only 30 to 40 schools nationwide—because it applies solely to schools with more than 500 full-time students and endowments greater than $500,000 per student. This tax is forecast to raise an estimated $1.8 billion over the next 10 years. It seems high-impact given the small number of schools affected—and critics caution that Congress is setting a dangerous precedent: expanding taxes on endowments that offer students access to higher education and make research projects possible. There’s also a new 21 percent excise tax on nonprofit executive compensation exceeding $1 million. (There’s an exception for income based on the provision of medical services—pay for doctors, nurses, and veterinarians, for example.) The purpose of this tax was to bring nonprofits into closer alignment with corporate tax law, in which executive compensation over $1 million is not tax-deductible. Yet nonprofits are already subject to stringent rules and excise taxes regarding “excessive” compensation. It might be a surprise that anyone in the nonprofit sector earns $1 million and up, but many do—major-college-sports coaches, to cite one prominent example. The new tax also applies to termination payments (“golden parachutes,” even severance) and to salaries of “shared” employees—those who earn wages totaling seven figures from multiple entities. Certain fringe benefits—including transportation benefits, parking and on-premises athletic facilities—will now be subject to an excise tax. Although these fringe-benefit taxes were designed to create parity between nonprofit and forprofit entities (which also cannot deduct these costs), they’ve spurred great concern at nonprofits about their overall

The most momentous change, though, is the increase in budget deficit returns to the fore. Regardless of what lies ahead, though, finance executives the standard deduction, which will lead fewer Americans to itemize.

Wealthier under the guidance of a tax attorney who specializes in donors might give less, too, because tax rates are lower nonprofits. Their very viability might depend on it.

We accomplish a lot through legal battles, but day to day I’m advocating, building coalitions, and organizing concerned citizens. Scenic Hudson’s experts join allies to take on large companies—and sometimes, even, we win. Scenic Hudson got its start in 1963, when a handful of people got the bold idea to oppose a Con Edison hydroelectric facility that would literally have cut into Storm King Mountain along the Hudson River. In 1965, the historic “Scenic Hudson Decision” issued by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals granted citizens

Scenic Hudson retains this DNA, continuing our advocacy in the backyard of the nation’s largest city. We’re never short of fights to wage, as one recent tussle—seeking to prevent the Hudson from becoming a crude-oil superhighway—amply illustrates. The Hudson provides so much: natural beauty, recreation, commercial transportation. All its benefits are important. But beginning in 2012, unprecedented transport of a uniquely dangerous material began on the Hudson, with Global Companies, LLC—a Massachusetts-based freight-logistics company—handling at its Albany terminal crude oil from the Bakken Formation in North Dakota. The facility could hold up to 2.2 billion gallons per year. Bakken crude is extremely flammable; it captured widespread attention in 2013 when a

Global Companies also proposed to extend its Albany terminal to be able to handle asphalt-like tar-sands crude, which is nearly impossible to clean up if spilled. Overnight New York’s capital had become a major transshipment hub for crude oil, turning the Hudson River into a virtual pipeline. The crude moved via 100car trains—in the same deficient railcars involved in the Canadian disaster—down the western shore of the Hudson, and in barges and tankers. Communities nationwide have grappled with similar hazards. Elevated crude production has brought derailments and barge and tanker accidents throughout North America, causing dozens of deaths and steep economic and environmental damage. Alongside our environmental and public-interest partners, community groups, and elected officials, Scenic Hudson took action to stem this threat. The U.S. Department of Transportation, meanwhile, was issuing regulations
in an attempt to make railcars safer. Determining more was needed, Congress in 2015 passed FAST (the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act) to upgrade the nation’s crude rail fleet. Around the same time, Scenic Hudson and partners filed lawsuits to halt the escalation of crude coming through Albany. While we continued to battle Global Companies in court, in early 2016 the U.S. Coast Guard issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, seeking to create 43 new anchorage berths for industrial barges along a 70-mile stretch of the Hudson just north of New York City. The maritime industry sought the change because of the enormous increase in crude-oil vessels—the river was being eyed, essentially, as a floating storage lot for dangerous chemicals. We rallied public officials and citizens alike to submit more than 10,000 c o mm e n t s dur in g t h e m an d a te d public comment period opposing new anchorages. The Coast Guard was prompted by this overwhelming response to conduct a Por ts and Water ways Safet y Assessment to
reevaluate the need for new anchorages, resulting in a March 2018 decision not to move forward with new anchorages for the time being. T h a t M a y, G l o b a l C o m p a n i e s announced it was seeking a modified permit to significantly reduce the amount of Bakken crude handled at its Albany facility and would withdraw its tar-sands
groups, community organizations, and elected officials have we been able to make strong moves to stanch the flow of crude down a treasured American river. Witnessing all this from the other side, companies might want to consider how to proactively engage communities in which they’re proposing potentially controversial projects. Taking the pulse of the locals, working to address their concerns, and being transparent go a long way toward lessening opposition. Soliciting stakeholder input early can help turn public opinion and enable a company to incorporate community suggestions while its plans are still in development. Focusing solely on investor benefits, by contrast, can lead companies to be blindsided by legitimate concerns about impacts to the environment, the community’s character, and scenic natural resources. Getting feedback from stakeholders at the outset offers an opportunity to realize project goals that are more consistent with a community’s values— in the end perhaps paving the way for a smoother, shorter approval process for the project’s proponent.

crude plans. Now, with far less crude being shipped on the Hudson, better railcars and no new anchorages, the Hudson Valley is substantially safer. As an environmental nonprofit, Scenic Hudson typically defends the “little guy” against much more powerful interests— meaning victory can be elusive. Only through strong partnerships with other environmental and public-interest

Karen R. Bertram TRUST & ESTATE LITIGATION Seattle, WA How did you get into your practice area? Dumb luck! I was a general litigator practicing at the firm Garvey Schubert Barer in 1998, when my mentor, Kenneth Schubert, Jr., asked me if I would assist him with a dispute in a probate. In 2000, Washington State’s Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act, RCW ch. 11.96A (“TEDRA”), was enacted to provide the statutory framework for special proceedings in matters involving trusts and estates. At the time of its adoption in 2000, a small group of lawyers in Washington began to focus their practices in trust and estate disputes. I consider myself very fortunate to have developed the knowledge and experience in this specialized area of the law. Who are your typical clients? I don’t have a typical client. There are unlimited scenarios in which disputes occur in trust and estate matters. The most common are between siblings regarding a parent’s estate and the children of parents who die leaving a surviving spouse from a second or third marriage. I represent fiduciaries, including trustees, executors and attorneys-in-fact regarding claims of breach of fiduciary duty, as well as the beneficiaries of trusts and estates that have been damaged by bad-acting fiduciaries. It is amazing how often fiduciaries steal money from unsuspecting beneficiaries. Often co-fiduciaries have irreconcilable disputes and need separate representation. I represent executors and beneficiaries in will contests, creditors of the decedent and surviving spouses or committed intimate partners regarding property characterization disputes. I have also served as an expert in multiple trust and estate disputes. What is your ultimate goal in your practice? To determine the most cost-effective resolution to the dispute in the best interest of my clients. Litigation is expensive and it is extremely important to gauge when to seek early resolution through mediation or some form of alternate dispute resolution, when to litigate and what discovery, motions or other procedures will help my clients resolve their disputes as efficientlyas possible. Describe one of your most interesting or memorable cases. I represented the executor of an estate in which the decedent died at age 53, leaving an estate of more than $100 million. The decedent left the majority of his estate to a foundation for neglected and abused children. He also left his girlfriend of nine years approximately $10 million. The decedent previously had prostate cancer and before the surgery he underwent to treat the cancer, he chose to freeze some of his sperm. Although the decedent and his girlfriend had no intention of using the frozen sperm to have a child, the girlfriend sued his estate making a claim to the sperm, arguing it was tangible personal property under the decedent’s Will. If a child was posthumously conceived from the sperm, the child, as an heir of the decedent, would have been entitled to the entire estate. The case was determined based on the intent of the decedent and the facts overwhelmingly showed he had no intent of using his frozen sperm to conceive a child. What qualities do you possess that you find particularly relevant/ necessary for practicing your area of law? Compassion and patience. Trust and estate disputes often deal with disputes among family members that can be very dysfunctional. And because these disputes usually occur following the death of a family member, the likelihood of overlying emotional issues is exacerbated. As a result, clients often need more than someone versed in the law. They need someone who will listen, empathize and advocate for them under challenging circumstances.

THE VERDICT
The Profit in NONPROFITS
Volunteer organizations are the lifeblood of the legal profession. Their model ought to be embraced by all. By Patricia Brown Holmes

TELL
you their “aha moment”—the instant they knew that becoming a lawyer was what they wanted to do more than anything. (This often entailed watching “Perry Mason,” “L.A. Law,” “Boston Legal,” “Law & Order,” or whichever show was popular when the reminiscing barrister was most impressionable.) Those TV dramas inspired many to go to law school and make a living helping people resolve their legal disputes. How many lawyers, though, would tell you that starting a nonprofit organization was their primary source of career inspiration? In 1987, a group of young African-American lawyers including former judge Ann Williams, Z Scott, Veda Britt-Handy, Mercedes Lang, Ertharin Cousin, and me started the Black Women Lawyers’ Association. In all, we numbered about 20 founding members; our animating purpose was to create a lasting organization to raise money and provide scholarships to young African-American women in law school. There weren’t many at the time. Nor were there many black female lawyers in Chicago, where the BWLA was founded. Who knew that the group we started would one day support not only young black women but also men? Who could have imagined that it would become a preeminent place for young lawyers to obtain invaluable mentoring and sponsorships? Or that it would produce some of Chicago’s top civic leaders? The experience gained volunteering for and supporting various initiatives of the BWLA was enormously influential in my career, as well as many others’. We planned events and orchestrated seminars alongside other nonprofits such as the Chicago Bar Foundation and Clara’s House, a South Side shelter for homeless women. It was difficult to manage our day jobs and the rigors of these volunteer efforts, but we did it. We were determined to help one another grow and succeed—and the BWLA was the root of it all. Another nonprofit that sprung to life in Chicago around the same time was Just the Beginning Foundation (now known as Just the Beginning—A Pipeline Organization). I currently chair its board, which includes such notables as Brett Hart, GC of United Airlines; Sharon Barner, GC of Cummins; Robert Bahrampour, SVP and assistant GC of Bank of America; Sylvia Stein, GC of Modine; and Christine Seppala, GC of Strategic Staffing Solutions. It’s thoroughly rewarding to promote and support programs designed to introduce seventh- and eighth-graders to professions in the law. To help ensure minority participation in the legal profession, JTB-APO serves students in high school, college, law school, and beyond, offering scholarships, mentoring, sponsors, and connections they might not otherwise be able to access. The group’s
executive director, Antonette Smith, frequently requests our time and attention to a variety of the group’s programs, and we’re more than willing to participate. It’s so gratifying to see the spark lit in the eyes of JTB Scholars who then move through the pipeline to become lawyers. We’re all happy to spend an extra hour or so with a curious young student, or donate a few extra dollars to a scholarship fund, to make sure students have internships and graduate on time. Why is this all so important? Because nonprofits like these keep the legal profession going. It’s hard to run a practice, interview witnesses, write briefs, and then dedicate after-hours time to a volunteer organization, but someone has to do it. In fact, I’d submit that all lawyers ought to do it. Giving back is the noblest thing we can do. There will always be a societal need for lawyers, after all, and it’s incumbent on all of us to be sure new ones are in the pipeline at all times. I believe it’s every bit as important to have lunch with a budding law student, say, as to participate in a barassociation function. It’s just as vital to donate time, thought, and money to a cause as it is to defend a client. Those in our profession must participate in nonprofits to help shape the future. It’s not that simple, you say? You’re right. It’s tough. We all have just 24 hours in the day, though we all need 40 or so, especially in today’s always-on, always-reachable climate. My daily decisions often boil down to “should I do this one thing, or these three others?” Prioritizing is therefore important—and the nonprofits I’m involved with are almost always at the top of my list. Can you say the same?
