Charities & Non-Profits
What We Do
We advise on contracts with suppliers, funders and partner organisations, employment matters and settlement agreements, disputes and debt recovery, property acquisitions, disposals and leases, and legacies left to your organisation through wills and estates.
Why We’re Experts
Trustees are personally accountable for the decisions they take, on budgets that leave no room for surprises. That changes what genuinely useful advice looks like: clear, costed, and framed so a board can act on it without a second opinion.
How we work with you
Fixed fees wherever we can offer them, scope agreed clearly before work begins, and advice your trustees can act on without needing it translated first.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Do you act for smaller charities as well as larger organisations?
Yes. The legal issues are often the same regardless of size – contracts, premises, employment and disputes – but the budget and the level of support needed differ, and we scope our involvement accordingly.
Someone has left a gift to our organisation in their will. Can you help?
Yes. We advise on legacies left through wills and estates, including where the position is unclear or the estate is taking longer than expected to administer.
Can you advise on employment matters and settlement agreements?
Yes. We advise organisations on employment issues and prepare settlement agreements where an employment relationship is being brought to an agreed conclusion.
We’re taking on new premises. What should trustees be considering?
The length of the commitment, repairing obligations, service charge exposure and whether the organisation can exit if circumstances change. We will set the risks out clearly so the board can decide with confidence.
How much will it cost?
We will explain the likely cost once we understand what is involved. Where a fixed fee is available, we will confirm what is included before work begins.
