Our charities team has a proven track record and a strong reputation, with specialist lawyers who act for a wide range of charitable organisations across the third sector.
Charities can face complex, sensitive issues that require crisis management, stakeholder management and national and international media liaison. They also face more day to day challenges and carry out more strategic planned projects in which it is important to understand the regulatory framework. As your experienced advisers, we can provide focussed guidance on a strategic and practical level.
Our charities team is full service, providing advice on all aspects of your operation including:
- Governance
- All aspects of regulatory compliance
- Mergers and restructuring
- Bank funding and security
- Fundraising
- Grant agreements
- Safeguarding
- Serious incident reporting
- Disputes
- Charity Commission enquiries
- Property
- Employees and volunteers
- Data protection and cyber security
- Commercial contracts
- Intellectual property and brand management
We offer advice across your life cycle, from start-up and registration, to winding up and insolvency.
The team acts for all types and sizes of charities including national household names. Our clients include professional bodies, research charities, grant giving charities, universities, further education colleges, schools, health and social care charities, environmental charities and many more.
