I am not friends with lawyers ;)
me too! :-)
Seriously: I don't know any lawyers. Furthermore, you'd need one which is
specialized in such laws. The students of the law faculty of the university
here do give free advice, I could check that in case it is needed.
It came to my mind that I could very easily reach some lawyer in
Brussels EU, in the European Economical and Social Committee, whose
mission is to be "a bridge between Europe and organized Civil Society",
and therefore non-profit organizations should be one of the matters they
take care of. If you agree, I can put you in touch with someone who
might establish the contact. An extra bonus would be that it could be
checked if such a non-profit might benefit of some of the facilities of
EU, as FSF does.
I did talk to a collega of mine, who is a founding member of a non-profit
organization. He said that it's all very easy, and they never used the
services of a lawyer. The guidelines of what minimally needs to be in
the charter are very clear, and there are plenty of examples available.
The same I've been told by a friend of mine who did the same in Italy,
but a lawyer (being his cousin, and therefore for free) gave him more
confidence.
I'll ask my boss if we could use the services of the company lawyer,
but that is a (very) long shot.
The company lawyer might have less familiarity with non-profit than some
of the students you mentioned before. However if all other options fail,
it would be better than nothing.
