Course Description Organizations with commonly held Directors and/or Officers and/or Shareholders and/or Members of a For-profit's and Nonprofit's should attend this ground breaking seminar. Some founders including social entrepreneurs and philanthropists sometimes have ideas which are both for-profit and nonprofit. This seminar will deal with legalities that we call "hybrid situations. Instructor's Bio Kent E. Seton, Esq., an entrepreneur at heart, started his law career simultaneously with the launch of a separate online venture that quickly grew into one of the largest nation- wide providers preparing the paperwork for creating 501(c)(3) organizations. At its height, this online company was forming over 250 501(c)(3) organizations per month. At the same time, Mr. Seton also steadily grew his law practice in the Beverly Hills and outlying areas and has become one of the foremost attorneys representing charities on tax, corporate governance and legal matters concerning fundraising. Not only does he regularly speak on legal topics, but, in the last several years he has also sprearheaded a free monthly event featuring the most advanced thinkers in the nonprofit sector for the benefit of sharing resources, information and networking for non-profit leaders in the Los Angeles Area. Mr. Seton hosts these functions to give back to the nonprofit community. He not only believes in the concept of charity, but he sticks by his word of promise to give back. Throughout his career, Mr. Seton has refused to limit his representation to only the largest nonprofit organizations, even though there are several who call Seton & Associates their law firm. As such, Mr. Seton also represents many small organizations as well and is a dedicated and tireless lawyer educating them on the legalities of running a nonprofit organization. He also enjoys lecturing on subjects including “social entrepreneurism” and “hybrid” entities. Several months ago, Mr. Seton launched a separate venture in Century City, California, which is a first of its kind investment bank for Mergers & Acquisitions (M & A) transactions in the nonprofit sector. It includes both a for-profit arm and a non-profit arm; the nonprofit arm is intended to help dissolving charities and to engage in studies concerning the viability of M & A activity in the nonprofit sector. His partner in this venture is Bob McKim, who among other things, is an accomplished entrepreneur and is the Chairman of the Board of Meals On Wheels-West. Mr. Seton intends to launch an office in Silicon Valley for his law firm in the near future. He is also currently in the process of writing his own book on nonprofit trends and the law.
