Our charity team is a multi-disciplinary team with expertise across the whole spectrum of legal issues affecting charities and the third sector. We work with all sizes of charities, whether operating locally or internationally.
We’ve developed a wealth of expertise in advising community interest companies and other social enterprises and were involved with the incorporation of some of the first community interest companies in the region.
Here’s how we can help
We can give you sensible and practical advice in any of the following areas:
- good governance and constitutional issues;
- compliance with charity legislation and Charity Commission guidance;
- trustees’ duties and responsibilities;
- charities and trading;
- mergers and collaborative working;
- dissolution; and
- structural changes.
