Britta Tollefson
Founding partner
Forms new nonprofits and keeps established ones in good standing. Saturdays she stocks the shelves at a neighborhood food shelf.
Nonprofit and tax-exempt law in St. Paul
You stock the shelves. We build the shelf.
Tollefson & Vue is a St. Paul firm for food shelves, clinics, arts groups and youth programs. We handle the incorporation, the IRS paperwork, the contracts and the board questions, so the work on the shelf can go out the door.
Four lawyers, one table
The people behind the table
Each of us has been the volunteer, the treasurer or the board member before being the lawyer. Pick a name to read how they work.
Karim Najjar
Attorney, contracts and leases
Reads the lease, the grant agreement and the vendor contract before anyone signs, and says which line matters.
Yer Vue
Attorney, governance and board matters
Keeps bylaws, policies and board minutes in step with how the organization really runs, and sits with a board when it disagrees.
Paramjit Dhillon
Of counsel, transitions and mergers
Helps a board plan the day the founder steps back, whether that means a new director, a merger or an orderly close.
Starting, renewing or handing over
Tell us what is on the shelf
Two or three sentences about your organization and what has changed: a new program, a lease, a founder stepping back. A lawyer writes back with a time to talk.
