Maureen Reidy, JD., LL.M.

As Exemption and Compliance Specialist at For Purpose Law Group, Maureen Reidy supports FPLG’s attorneys on the corporate and tax-exempt work that keeps our nonprofit and social enterprise clients organized and in good standing, from formation, exemption and governance documents to the filings that come around every year.

Maureen came to FPLG with a legal education built around tax and business. She earned her J.D. from Indiana University Maurer School of Law, where she interned with the school’s Conservation Law Clinic, competed in the Sherman Minton Moot Court Competition, and was a member of the Business & Law Society, and she went on to earn an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University School of Law.

Her hands-on experience spans nonprofit, compliance, and corporate settings. She helped a newly formed nonprofit identify grant programs that fit its work, prepared and submitted its grant proposals, and organized an outreach and fundraising event to introduce the organization to its community. In the risk and compliance department of a national insurance company, she researched and updated internal guides on appraisal law across all 50 states and assisted with a department-wide risk assessment. She also spent a summer in Bangkok with the corporate and commercial practice of an international law firm, working with partners to draft and review large-scale contracts and other legal documents and helping update the firm’s guides on areas of Thai law important to its clients. Before law school, she completed an end-to-end research project for an insurer’s research and development center and presented her findings at a company-wide innovation showcase.

That mix of tax training, compliance research, and direct nonprofit work gives Maureen a strong grasp of the rules our clients operate under, and it makes her a careful, reliable partner for FPLG’s attorneys on the detailed corporate work behind every engagement.

Outside the office, Maureen is a runner and an avid reader of both fiction and nonfiction, and she rarely passes up a chance to catch live music.
