Charities & Social Enterprise
Our leading regional and national reputation has helped us to build the North East’s largest charity team.
The breadth of our clients’ activity includes the full range of charitable purposes including education and research, sports and recreation, arts and heritage, social housing, health and social care, religion, animal welfare and the environment.
We have extensive expertise across the whole spectrum of legal issues affecting charities and the third sector. We can therefore handle any legal issues that you may have, whatever their nature and whether you operate locally or internationally.
We are increasingly advising community interest companies, co-operatives and other social enterprises and were involved in setting up some of the first community interest companies in the region. We also have a growing expertise in social finance and investment.
"Christopher Hook at Muckle has been absolutely brilliant, guiding our small arts organisation through the complexities of becoming a company and then registering as a charity. I don't how we would have managed without his help! The support he has given on the phone, by email and in person has been so clear and comprehensible. Artworks in Teesdale is extremely grateful and we will certainly be recommending Muckle's service."
