Our multi-disciplinary Charities Group delivers practical and commercial solutions to all legal issues affecting charities.

We act for a wide range of charities, including educational institutions, medical and health care organisations, religious bodies and grant making trusts.  We also advise public bodies, corporates and individuals donating to or interacting with charities.

Our Charities Group advises on the powers and duties of trustees, governance, cross-border giving, charity incorporations and mergers, legislation affecting charities and Charity Commission policies and operational guidance.

We are also experienced in advising on administrative matters, such as fundraising ventures, licensing and service arrangements, employment issues and commercial transactions.

Our holistic approach to advising charities means that we draw upon a wealth of charity, real estate, intellectual property, commercial, finance, investment fund management, procurement, insolvency, tax, employment and pension legal expertise from across our firm. We have found that this “one-stop-shop” approach maximises the efficiency of our overall advice.
