Kramer Levin successfully obtained Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status for The Long Island Center for Tourette and Associated Disorders (LICT). LICT is a local organization for families affected by Tourette, providing medical referrals, educational resources and other opportunities for connection and adjustment. It is led by Cathy Budman, MD, a child psychiatrist and Hofstra medical professor who is one of the nation’s leading authorities on movement disorders. Insurance Transactional and Regulatory partner Daniel A. Rabinowitz helped organize LICT as a legal entity in 2017 and serves on its Board of Trustees. Tax associate Mariya Khvatskaya provided key advice, particularly in the early stages of organizing the entity and preparing it for tax-exempt status. Legal assistant Shane Puglisi assisted with NY Secretary of State filings required in connection with IRS comments on the tax-exemption application. Paris partner Reid Feldman also provided invaluable assistance and input.
