Attorney or law firm recommendations?

[Keith Fargo]

Hello HRA colleagues,

LBDA would like to consult with an attorney about potential liability as a research funder related to one of our grant programs.

Have any of you worked with attorneys or law firms with expertise in health-related grant making and/or grant contracting?

If so, we would greatly appreciate knowing about any that you had a good experience with.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Keith

Hello Keith,

AFAR works with David Lubitz from Schaner and Lubitz https://www.schanerlaw.com/attorneys/david-lubitz/ and I highly recommend him. I think several other HRA members may work with him as well. A couple of years ago I sent out a similar request to the HRA community and he was recommended by several HRA members, so that is how we found him!

David is very responsive and is a pleasure to work with. He has helped us navigate through some complicated contract negotiations and has been very helpful in providing suggestions for our grant agreements and more.

Best,

Odette

Another highly recommended person in the association foundation space is Paula Goedert.

Paula is exceptionally engaging while making presentations to board members and she makes legal issues simple for non-lawyers who are trying to understand the situation. Additionally, she’s a fierce advocate for non-profits, associations, and Foundations. I have worked at several organizations that have used her services, and the AASM has been a client for a while.

I asked our Legal team and they shared the following:

We’ve consistently engaged Kirkland for advice on our grants and mission programs. While we haven’t faced an issue similar to LBDA, Robert S. Ryland ([email protected]) would be your best contact as he has the most knowledge in this area. We have also used Gibson Dunn for government contract questions, DJ Manthripragada ([email protected]) is fantastic.
