Rezensionen
"Great resource... Her writing style is less lawyerly, and well, human. The book is filled with stories, practical resources, and tools."
"Remarkable, up-to-date and virtually all-inclusive practice treatment...An impressive array of guidelines and how-to suggestions and materials intended to train incoming counsel and those on both sides of the attorney-client relationship."
"A true must-read for nonprofit lawyers, executives, board members and even law students....If you interact with nonprofits, this is the book."
"Rosenthal gives us the scoop on how lawyers can parlay their firm experience into a job in the nonprofit sector."
"There is no doubt that once you have this book in your hands, you'll be grateful, whether you're a development director, the ED, or a 'member of the board'. Add Good Counsel to your nonprofit management bookshelf and make sure that your entire management team knows about it."
