Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
protect our group legally
hi, I belong to a group of women sailors,
that put on sailing events. We are
concerned about liability. Should we
incorporate and become nonprofit, or
become a limited liability corp, or a
better option??

Re: protect our group legally
"Protection" means different things to different people and organizations.
You can form a Corporation or LLC (either Profit or Non-Profit) to protect the group's members from liability for group activities.
You can buy INSURANCE to protect against liabilities
You can register a trade/service mark to protect the name of the group.
You can establish strict policies on admission to the group, operating rules, etc. to prevent misunderstandings and problems down the line.
I recommend ALL of the above
Bottom line.. you should consult a lawyer to help get organized and make sure everything is done right.
