Charities and Not for Profit sector

Constitutional and governance structures have to be effective to enable not-for-profit organisations to work to their best ability in challenging commercial and regulatory environments. Trustees play a key role and carry ultimate responsibility for the work of their organisation, which we recognise can be a very challenging task.

As a charity, your passion for what you do is matched by our responsiveness to your needs and our appreciation and knowledge about your sector. Whilst many of our clients are well-established, others come to us for advice on starting a charity and some of our existing clients are charities which we set up. 

We have a team of lawyers who act for a number of large charities, as well as an array of charitable trusts, associations, schools, colleges and other social enterprise partnerships. Our team is on hand to provide advice and assistance in the following areas:

  • Constitutions and governance
  • Corporate structures
  • Company secretarial services
  • Trustee issues
  • Employment
  • Charity shops and trading
  • Funding and tax
  • Property
  • Legacies.

“An excellent professional service offering practical advice, with a good understanding of our organisation”
