Trade Associations
Trade associations have unique legal needs. For example, they represent a community of interests that may include direct business competitors, they generally are tax-exempt, they usually are active in political campaigns and lobbying efforts in the executive and legislative branches of government, and they often have special human resource and personnel issues.
