SIEKIO ID. Info time for NGOs | Legal Well-being of NGOs

Rytis Jokubauskas, Advocate, Expert at the NGO Law Institute

Only those who have a thorough knowledge of the rules of play can fully engage in it. The knowledge of rules does not ensure a good performance; however, a lack of knowledge can lead to failures or setbacks. Legal requirements applied to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are mandatory rules of play, that NGOs are required to comply with. Some rules are determined by legal acts and some we establish ourselves. Do we always observe these rules though?

The aim of the webinar dedicated to the legal well-being of NGOs is to identify the main legal aspects of the activities of non-governmental organisations. The leader of an NGO must be aware of these aspects and other participants are advised to know them. During the webinar, legal requirements will be analysed and practical advices on how to apply legal requirements in a duly manner, how to address typical legal situations and what mistakes to avoid will be shared.
