About Alison
Alison advises charities, not-for-profit organisations, and those who work with charities, on all manner of governance, constitutional issues and commercial matters.
Her particular expertise includes carrying out board effectiveness reviews; managing mergers and partnerships; reviewing, drafting and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts; provision of fundraising advice; incorporating charities; providing data protection advice and support; and liaising with the various regulators such as the Charity Commission, Companies House, OSCR, and the ICO. Alison also delivers training, both general and bespoke, to trustee boards and senior management teams.
Alison is immersed in the charity sector through her work as a trustee of a high-profile arts charity. She has previously served as chair of the board of another regional charity and acted as a school governor.
She is also a Charity Law Association (CLA) member and regularly sits on the CLA’s working parties formed to respond to Charity Commission consultations on new trustee guidance.
I found the session incredibly useful. Alison, who provided the legal advice, was super good. She had clearly read all the information I had sent through prior to our meeting and was very well prepared. She gave really good advice and was really helpful. I got exactly what I needed.
"Ryan and Alison were really friendly and helpful, they suggested things that I had not thought about. I would recommend them to other charities."

Data Protection & Information Law
Charities, no matter their size, often hold significant personal information about their beneficiaries, staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and other third parties. Alison works closely with charitable and not-for-profit organisations to provide bespoke training to trustees and senior management teams on their duties under the GDPR; draft and update their suite of data protection documents and policies; support them in responding to subject access requests; and advising them on data breaches and compliance concerns.
