Charities and Philanthropy

Establishing a charitable entity is often an exciting time and our specialists can help to guide you on the most appropriate structure to achieve your charitable objectives. We understand that you want to focus on the causes that mean that most to you and aim to make the set up and administration process as simple as possible.

Whether you are considering a charitable trust, a charitable incorporated organisation or a donor advised fund, we can ensure you choose the most suitable structure to fit your requirements. We can help set up and register your charity including all regulatory matters.

Once set up we can provide on all aspects of the ongoing administration, including trustees' duties, due diligence, grant making, the preparation of accounts, compliance with the Charity Commission, Companies House and HMRC and drafting all necessary trust documentation. We can also liaise with the trustees and the trust's investment managers. We can provide professional trusteeship, leaving you free to concentrate on the things that matter most.

Our dedicated trusts specialists have a wealth of experience in trust management and are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

This wide knowledge of trust law, management and charity law enables us to offer bespoke advice to trustees of all levels of experience.
