Charities and Philanthropy
We advise across all aspects of charity and trust law, in particular on issues relating to the formation and governance of charities, not for profit organisations, social enterprises and private trusts. Our practice covers the establishment of new charities by businesses, livery companies and families and subsequent advice on all aspects of their administration, operations, taxation and dealings with the Charity Commission. We also handle disputes that arise in relation to the administration of charities, including advice to charity trustees on how they should deal with disputes that the charity may have with third parties.
Our UK charity specialists have acted for a number of large household name charities and small grant-making charities, including several from the healthcare or medical research sector. We therefore have an understanding of the broad range of issues that charities face.
