Charities & The Third Sector
We provide legal
advice to charities, voluntary and community organisations, including
not for profit companies, industrial and provident societies, trusts,
clubs, social enterprises and community interest companies. Our clients
include large national charities, regional theatre companies, and local
art galleries.
We can provide legal help and guidance to clients in the third sector.
We have the experience to deal with the types of legal problem that any
organisation may face including governance, trustees duties, fundraising
and finance, employment law issues, property matters and intellectual
property rights. We provide advice to all sizes of organisation, using
dedicated phone lines and web portals. We can arrange to attend trustee
meetings and provide bespoke training to employees, volunteers, HR teams
and managers.
For those planning to form a new organisation, we can help by guiding
the promoters through the governance requirements and the relative
advantages of each type of structure. We keep up to date with current
trends, including the imminent launch of charitable incorporated
organisations.
The same level of expertise can be offered to mature organisations
facing change, merger, or winding up. We work closely with other
advisors and consultants to address trustee concerns, especially when
dealing with regulators. We are the sole UK law firm to belong to the
international network of lawyers, LEGUS. Those links enable us to
provide international support to organisations with overseas activities.
We know the importance of the reputation of the sector, and work with
organisations to protect their name, especially when considering
commercial arrangements and on line activities.
We have created dedicated teams within our other departments, so that we
can offer a seamless approach to property transactions and employment
advice to clients in the Third Sector.
We would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss our cost effective,
practical approach to your legal concerns.
