Our charities team advises on legal issues as diverse as charities are themselves - from the fundamentals such as creating a charity and the duties of trustees, through to day-to-day essentials such as employment law, property law and the law of contract.
Gone are the days when a group of well-intentioned individuals could "do their best" and "muddle through". To survive and prosper in an increasingly competitive world and to retain public confidence in an increasingly cynical one, charities must be efficient, businesslike and effective in realising and delivering their charitable objectives.
Our team of experienced advisers can provide a service directly tuned to the needs of charitable and other non-profit making organisations.
Specifically we can advise on:
- trustees' roles and obligations
- structure of charities
- governance and regulation
- fundraising
