Notable Charity Law work

Our charities team worked closely with the Charity Commission, Members of Parliament and a leading national Police charity client in contributing to the improvement of the Charities Bill 2005 (now the Charities Act 2006) to gain special recognition for the valuable work and dedication of members of the Police and emergency services

We recognise that charity trustees have in recent years experienced fundamental changes to the legislative and regulatory landscape which poses significant challenges to the operation and well being of their organisation.  All charities now more than ever, have a much greater need for costs effective as well as clear and practical legal advice in order to adapt to such changes and prosper.

We are proud of our dedicated and unrivalled involvement with a diverse leading professional associations and trade unions whom represent the majority of public sector workers across the United Kingdom. With our unique knowledge and expertise, we are recognised by our charity clients in this sector as being best placed to understand and assist with their concerns and requirements in championing and furthering the needs of public sector workers and their dependants.
