Charities

We have extensive experience of acting for service providing charities, particularly in the educational and medical fields, and substantial conservation charities. For such institutions, we bring together teams to provide them with the advice they require on matters such as intellectual property, employment, tax, property and planning, as well as on charity law and commercial issues.

• Interpretation of trustee powers.
• Advice on investment powers.
• Winding up and merging separate charities.
