How a Nonprofit Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Code of Ethics in California

In 2024, a nonprofit organization in California sought assistance in drafting a comprehensive Code of Ethics to replace their outdated policy. The client aimed to ensure that the new document would effectively guide both volunteers and employees by addressing current issues, including defamation, and aligning with their existing conference and Executive Committee policies. They provided their current policy for reference to support the revision process. As a result, the client received six proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $550 to $2,250, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
