NAVREF General Counsel Services

The NGC provides legal advice and assistance to NAVREF and NPC Members on matters related to NAVREF or the affairs of the member organizations. NGC can represent clients on transactional matters and in litigation arising from or relating to the member's business affairs or the performance of official duties and responsibilities of the member's employees. NGC also represents NAVREF itself in a variety of business transactions and in litigation, both as a party and as amicus curiae in cases in which NAVREF has an institutional interest.

NAVREF's legal services are provided in partnership with Sequoia Partners LLP, whose team brings decades of experience supporting nonprofit and government-affiliated organizations. For all legal inquiries and requests, please contact us at legal@navref.org. Responses will come from addresses with the handle @sequoiallp.com.

As a benefit of being a member, NAVREF offers general counsel services at competitive pricing for a range of services.
