The law firm of McGuireWoods has been integral in supporting SVP Charlotte with its legal expertise since our founding in 2005. We’re excited to announce that McGuireWoods has officially become a Corporate Partner. McGuireWoods attorneys helped our founding Partners establish our nonprofit entity by assisting in the preparation of essential organizational documents, drafting our corporate governance statement, and aiding in the application for tax-exempt status. Their legal expertise and dedication were instrumental in helping to write the organization’s bylaws and file our 501c3 documentation. 
 
Over the years, nearly 50 McGuireWoods lawyers and staff members have given their support and subject matter expertise to various SVP Investees. They have provided legal counsel, guidance, and support to notable nonprofits such as Charlotte Family Housing, Common Wealth Charlotte, GenOne Charlotte, Heart Math Tutoring, ourBRIDGE for KIDS, Profound Gentlemen, Promising Pages, and The ROC. Their guidance has been invaluable in empowering these organizations to thrive, navigate challenges, and make a difference in our community. 

In addition to providing legal expertise, McGuireWoods has been a generous supporter of SEED20 over the years. Moreover,14 attorneys from McGuireWoods have dedicated their time and expertise to coach our nonprofit participants, further showcasing the firm’s dedication to our mission. 

As we embark on this official partnership, we are thrilled to witness the evolution of our community engagement with McGuireWoods.
