Working with Charities

Our approach is to create focused project groups to support each client providing them with access to cross disciplinary expertise.

Many members of our charity group are members of the Charity Law Association (CLA) or the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).
The work we undertake is as varied as the charities for whom we act. From formation through to growth, expansion and mergers we have the skills to help.
We advise on all issues relating to a charity and its business and property operations, including:

• General charity formation and governance
• Charity Commission registration
• Incorporation of charities and trustee bodies
• Creation, administration and variation of charitable trusts
• Charity commission compliance
• Companies House compliance
• Trustee advice, remuneration and insurance
• Mergers and collaborative working
• Employment matters
• Funding issues
• Acquisition disposal letting and development of property
• Commercial contracts and procurement
• Administration of estates
• Charity Commission schemes, investigations and reviews
• Contentious trust and probate issues including legacy and Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act work .
