Charity Law
We are committed to helping you meet the challenges of being a modern charity by providing an excellent range of Charity Law services.
Our team is led by Senior Partner Romaine Thompson, nationally recognised as a leading charity law solicitor. The strength and depth of our Charity Law team enables us to offer the highest quality service to clients, complemented by a real commitment to relationship-based working.
With a national client base across a range of voluntary sector organisations, the Charity Law team activities relate to:
- charities;
- Charity Commission;
- trustee(s);
- fund-raising;
- Funding Agreements;
- trading;
- duties and responsibilities;
- governing documentation;
- group structures;
- joint projects;
- amalgamations;
- mergers.
As Charity Law solicitors we take a flexible approach to your needs and tailor our services accordingly. Some clients choose to use us to address a wide variety of issues, almost like in-house lawyers. We provide them with advice on matters as diverse as negotiating with the Charity Commission to obtain consent to remunerate a trustee, protecting a charity logo, or entering into a fund-raising agreement with a commercial entity.
Other charities may employ in-house legal staff and therefore only call on our services on an ad hoc basis. In these cases we happily provide advice and support in relation to special projects, such as a review of governing documentation to reflect changes in law and best practice, or making arrangements for a joint project with another charity.
However you prefer to work, we do all that we can to add value to your organisation. We have a high degree of empathy for the charity sector, and can provide advice on areas including:
- employment;
- legacies;
- trusts;
- wills;
- intellectual property;
- child protection;
- data protection;
- buying and selling property;
- regulatory compliance;
- project planning;
- funding and coaching;
- mentoring and training.
So if you are a charity and need specialist and value-for-money legal services, then please get in touch. We will be delighted to work with you.
