Trusted by the UK’s largest and smallest charities
We understand the charity sector
Our charity solicitors have a proven track record of working with charities of all sizes and shapes, including not-for-profits, social enterprises, and voluntary groups, as well as some of the UK biggest charities (who have entrusted us with their entire commercial property portfolio).
We’re well-versed in handling a range of complex matters, alongside smaller issues that you need help with.
Because we’ve worked with so many charities, our understanding of the third sector runs deeper than just the technicalities of charity law. In fact, our charity solicitors team regularly give up their own time to serve as school governors, charity trustees and sit on various committees.
We understand how such charitable organisations work, making us better and more effective advisers.
Many members of our team enjoy ‘trusted adviser’ relationships with senior charity executives and trustees. What this means is that you get more than just a legal partner with Willans; you get a legal partner invested in the success of your cause and your good work.
