About the event
Navigating the law can be tough for inexperienced communities, so it’s important to create a solid legal foundation for your intentional community to avoid distress. Furthermore, strong and responsive legal agreements within communities are key to both their long-term success and maintaining healthy relationships between community members.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about some of the most common legal issues that communities face and how to prepare for them. Our presenter, Clifford Paulin Esq. has advised communities on the legal aspects of community living for 15 years, so will share from his broad experience.
Join us for this 1-hour webinar to get a bird’s eye view of legal topics to consider when starting, maintaining, or reforming a community, as well as get a taste for our upcoming 5-week course, Legal Basics for Forming Communities.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about:
- The critical legal topics in intentional community that you need to be aware of
- What to ensure is in your governing documents
- How to evaluate different choices of legal structure
