Dear all,

I am looking to see whether anyone has contacts at law firms that might be interested in taking on a pro bono project for an international NGO that is very active in trying to save cultural monuments and artifacts in Syria.  The NGO, Heritage for Peace, is looking for legal guidance on either opening a U.S. branch or relocating their HQ from Spain to here to qualify as a 501c3 non-profit.  The organization has several prominent members in the field--the request comes from a Dutch archaeologist/NGO member I know who served as a cultural advisor to the US Embassy in Iraq in the immediate wake of the Coalition occupation and was featured earlier this year in the Wall Street Journal as a “Monuments Man” in Syria.
