From both vantages, they are simply among the best at partnering with their clients and staying ahead of the curve on the legal issues impacting nonprofit organizations."
In her second stint with Venable, Ms. Caseman returns to one of the premier nonprofit practices in the country, which represents more than 700 nonprofit clients nationwide and has long been one of the top-ranked nonprofit practices.
