Charities
Philanthropists, Charities and other Not-for-Profit organisations approach us for advice on a range of matters and from a range of sectors. Our track record in this field and our long standing relationship with our Charity clients comes from our commitment to them and to this area of practice.
Our work includes:
- The creation and registration of Charitable Trusts, Companies and Charitable Incorporated Associations, meeting the ethos and objectives of their founders
- Administration, accountancy and taxation services to Charities ranging from private family charities and institutions to some of the UK’s largest grant making bodies and international charitable organisations
- Acting to resolve Charity disputes, and dealing with complaints and regulatory problems
- Variation of the constitutions of Charities, including applications to the Charity Commission
- Advice on the business activities of charitable bodies, their management and funding
- Advice on property and employment issues, as well as other issues arising from Charity assets and endowments, including advice on the realisation of development value in land holdings, working with our clients’ management teams and their surveyors and agents
- Advice on the structure and administration of national and local museums, schools, university colleges and other academic and research institutions
