About Jeffrey Tenenbaum
Tenenbaum is widely regarded as one of the nation\'s leading nonprofit attorneys, and is also an accomplished author, lecturer, commentator, and expert witness on nonprofit legal matters, including most recently as the New York Attorney General’s lead expert witness in a very high-profile case (in which the Attorney General prevailed). As Managing Partner of the nationally recognized, Washington, DC-based Tenenbaum Law Group – a seven-attorney boutique law firm focused exclusively on the legal needs of nonprofits – Jeff counsels his clients on the broad array of legal and sensitive business and governance issues affecting nonprofit organizations. For 19 years, Jeff practiced law at the Venable law firm in Washington, DC and chaired its nonprofit practice for most of that time.Among numerous other honors and awards, Jeff was Best Lawyers’ 2026 Lawyer of the Year for Nonprofit/Charities Law in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, was the recipient of Association TRENDS & CEO Update\'s 2025 Association Industry Partner of the Year Award, was the 2006 recipient of the American Bar Association\'s Outstanding Nonprofit Lawyer of the Year Award, has been one of only a handful of Leading Lawyers in the prestigious U.S. Legal 500 Not-for-Profit rankings over the years, is one of only five lawyers in the U.S. Legal 500’s Not-for-Profit Hall of Fame, and has been selected by both Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers every year for well over a decade in their national nonprofit law categories.The Tenenbaum Law Group has been ranked in the Tier 1 designation in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for Nonprofit/Charities Law by Best Law Firms in each year since its founding in 2020. In addition, the firm has been ranked by the prestigious U.S. Legal 500 for 2022-25 in its national Not-for-Profit category. For 2025, as TLG was one of only 18 law firms ranked nationwide and the only boutique firm, this is a highly coveted, distinguished honor.Jeff is the author of the ASAE-published book, Association Tax Compliance Guide, which is only slightly more popular than his second – and much more interesting – book, Quarantine Cocktails. He currently serves as Chair of the American Bar Association’s Nonprofit Organizations Committee\'s Trade and Professional Associations Subcommittee and on the ASAE Association Governance Institute Consultant Advisory Committee, Key Consultant Committee, and Public Policy Committee.
