How can we help?
Our multi-disciplinary legal teams act for a wide range of organisations across the charity and not-for-profit sector, and can offer a real breadth of service. We advise on commercial property, employment, business immigration, property & commercial litigation and commercial matters.
We also advise on governance and regulatory matters, drawing on our specialist charity law expertise – a niche skillset that we are proud to offer. Our experience includes new charity registrations, incorporations and restructures, charity closures, updating governing documents, and guiding trustees on their legal duties and responsibilities, with extensive experience liaising with the Charity Commission.
