Non-Profit Bylaws Legal Review

I’m looking for a lawyer-editor hybrid to take our current bylaws, place them side-by-side with two older versions I will supply, and return a fully updated document that passes today’s federal and state non-profit requirements. My top priority is compliance with legal standards, but I also want the language to read cleanly and to sit comfortably with our mission. The section on decision-making procedures has proven especially murky over the years, so please give that portion extra scrutiny—streamline the wording, tighten any vague voting rules, and make sure the power dynamics match modern best practices for good governance. If you discover citations or statutes that are outdated, let me know whether they truly need replacement; I haven’t decided yet how deep we’ll go on that front, so your guidance will shape the final call. Deliverables: • A red-lined version showing every change and legal comment • A polished, adoption-ready clean copy • A brief memo (one to two pages) summarizing the rationale for key edits and calling out any optional legal updates we may wish to pursue later Experience with non-profit law, plain-language drafting, and board governance is essential; familiarity with tools like Word’s Track Changes, Google Docs suggestions, or similar is assumed. I’ll provide the current and legacy bylaws the moment we agree to proceed.
