Spencer Fane has for over 50 years had a practice area devoted to the representation of local, regional, national, and international trade and professional associations in a variety of industries and trades. As a result of our extensive representation of these associations, we have experience with almost all legal issues that an association might face. In addition to our core team that regularly advises our association clients on their day to day issues, our association practice includes specialists in a number of other practice areas (such as antitrust, tax, intellectual property, employee benefits, etc.) that have become familiar with the operations and needs of trade and professional associations.
