Charities

We act for a number of high profile charity clients and offer a full range of legal services to all types of charities.
Charities are subject to a growing regulatory burden and are having to compete for funds in an increasingly competitive environment. This is prompting charities to explore their trading and fund-raising activities, and strategic options such as mergers, partnerships and joint ventures with other organisations.
Our charity team comprises:
Michael Overend, a member of the Charity Law Association with over fifteen years' experience of advising charities.
David Thomas, who deals with charity property transactions, and
Andrew Egan, who advises charities on employment law and practice.
We can advise on all issues relating to charities, including:
  • starting a charity
  • registering it with the Charity Commission
  • dealing with constitutional and organisational changes
  • trading and fund-raising issues
  • strategic planning including mergers and joint ventures
  • commercial contracts
  • protecting intellectual property rights
  • acquiring and disposing of charity land, and
  • employment contracts, policies, procedures and disputes
Whether it is a property matter, employment contract or a regulatory requirement, our experience and knowledge enables us to provide a rounded and informed perspective.
