Reno & Cavanaugh was formed in 1977 with the goal to provide quality legal services to nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the housing conditions of low-income people throughout the country. Since then, the firm"s practice has expanded to provide a broad range of legal and legislative advocacy services to nonprofit organizations, public agencies, consultants and small businesses. While the firm"s practice focuses on the development of affordable and public housing and related issues, its general counseling of nonprofit organizations and small businesses involves it in a much broader range of legal issues including corporate formation and governance, government contracts and procurement, federal income tax exemptions and low-income housing tax credits, alternative insurance mechanisms (captive insurance entities and risk retention groups), administrative and legislative lobbying, and employment matters.
