  • Formation and registration of all types of charitable trusts, companies and foundations;
  • Trustees’ appointments, liabilities and management issues;
  • Ongoing management and development;
  • Fundraising;
  • Licensing and gaming;
  • Finances, accounts and tax planning;
  • Governance and constitutional matters;
  • Trading; and
  • Legacies and giving.

We act for a number of charities and many of the partners and staff are Trustees, Governors or Directors of local not for profit and educational organisations.  We have first hand experience of the financial and budgeting constraints and other issues within the sector.

 

Our other specialist teams regularly provide advice on:-

  • Employment matters;
  • Alternative dispute resolution;
  • Property acquisitions, disposal, mortgages and leases; and
  • Trusts and tax advice.

We do operate a discount on fees for charities and the not for profit sector.  Further details can be supplied on request.
