Charities legal support

Specialist lawyers for the charity sector

We welcome the opportunity to act as a sounding board for your plans, supporting you with sound commercial advice in relation to special projects, such as a review of your governance structure and documentation, or making arrangements to work on a joint project with another charity.

We have advised a number of clients on governance and best practice to assist them in complying with, and indeed passing, a charity review of their operations by the Charity Commission.

  • deliver support and astute commercial & legal advice
  • help you operate efficiently and effectively
