Karim Najjar

Attorney, contracts and leases

Reads the lease, the grant agreement and the vendor contract before anyone signs.

Karim works on the documents that carry a nonprofit's day-to-day risk: leases for space, grant agreements and the contracts with vendors and partners.

He marks the three or four lines in a long agreement that the board really needs to see, and drafts the ones your organization sends so that a volunteer can read them.
