@akashgandhi1

I lead nonprofit legal strategy, governance, compliance, and complex commercial transactions.

At the National Safety Council, I serve as sole in-house counsel, advising the President/CEO and Board on 501(c)(3) governance, federal grant compliance, enterprise risk, employment matters, and commercial agreements. I led legal diligence, negotiation, and integration for a $6M+ competitor acquisition.

Previously, I counseled international clients at Page-Fura P.C. on trade compliance and cross-border transactions, including a $20M U.S. Customs audit. At Fellowes Inc., I managed global trade compliance, legal risk, and international contracts across foreign jurisdictions.
