Not for Profit and Charity law

Our charity law legal services »

Charitable organisations are subject to a growing regulatory burden and are having to become ever more resourceful in raising funds. The economic situation demands they look to manage risk, adopt a rigid corporate structure and are more commercial in their outlook and dealings with third parties.

Consequently, many charitable and not for profit organisations have an increasing awareness of the value of being able to call on a wide range of legal and commercial advice.

We help clients safeguard the ethos and values of their organisation, so as not to lose sight of the purpose for which it was founded and remain empathetic to their needs, whilst providing holistic and pragmatic legal advice.

Our charity law team has an impressive client list of non-profit organisations and regional charities including the Epilepsy Society, Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy, The South Bucks Hospice, The British Skin Foundation and the Buckinghamshire Community Foundation and work closely with trustees and management teams to foster long-term relationships.
