Emily Little, Esq., LL.M.

Managing Attorney

Emily Little serves as Managing Attorney at For Purpose Law Group, where she leads the firm's legal team and sets the standard for the quality, consistency, and responsiveness of the work every client receives. She oversees how matters are staffed and reviewed across the firm, and she mentors attorneys as they take on more complex work and, over time, matter leadership of their own.

Her responsibilities include ensuring every matter has a clear plan from the outset, personally reviewing the firm's most complex and sensitive work, and using each review as an opportunity to develop the attorney involved. She meets regularly with members of the team and holds herself accountable for its performance as a whole, including growth, progress toward firm goals, and the quality of the client experience.

Alongside these responsibilities, Emily maintains an active practice advising public charities, private foundations, supporting organizations, and advocacy groups on matters under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, including governance, unrelated business income, lobbying and political activity, mergers, and dissolution.

Prior to joining FPLG, Emily worked with a large Texas-based law firm specializing in nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations. Before entering the legal profession, she taught seventh-grade math in North Carolina, an experience that shaped the discipline and clarity she now brings to leading a team.

Driven by a commitment to the nonprofit sector and a belief in its capacity to transform communities, Emily is known for building lasting client relationships grounded in trust and sound judgment, qualities that now extend to how she leads her team.
