A: Yes, he can sue you, but I have no idea whether he has a case or what you mean by "organization."
A: If you have conducted a thorough search and have not found any existing trademarks related to your organization, it is unlikely that the former owner has a valid claim to a trademark. However, it is always possible that he has taken steps to register a trademark without your knowledge. You should consult with a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property law to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action.
