Meet the Instructor

Hi, I’m Dov Goldberg. As a Lawyer working exclusively with Charities and Not-for-Profits, I help founders and directors register their charity and/or not-for-profit without dealing with complicated legal forms, by taking care of all the paperwork so that you can successfully register your charity/NPO, have more freedom, peace of mind, and spend more time doing what you love.

In 2015, after working for several years in a boutique firm focused on corporate, business, and charity law, I took the leap to start a Law Firm dedicated exclusively to Charities and Not-for-Profit Corporations, so that I could help Charity Founders, Directors and Not-for-Profit Entrepreneurs register and operate their organizations on a solid and stable legal footing and so that I could work in a legal field where I am inspired daily by our amazing clients (…one of the best decisions I’ve ever made).

Since then, I’ve assisted 885+ Charity Founders, Directors, Officers, and NPO Entrepreneurs successfully register and govern their Canadian Charity/NPO and I’m the only charity lawyer with more than 178+ 5.0 Star Google Reviews from clients who love my professional, quick and streamlined charity services.

I now manage and operate a passionate team of 5 at B.I.G. Charity Law Group who help my clients start, launch, and operate their Charity and/or Not-for-Profit corporation.

Our most common clients are:

Charity Founders looking to obtain a Charity Number so that they can issue tax-deductible receipts, which will allow them to massively increase their fundraising; and

Highly-committed Not-for-Profit Entrepreneurs looking to start and grow their NFP; and

Directors of Charities and NFPs dealing with complex governance and board issues.
