Our Private Client team has a wealth of experience in the charity sector, providing legal advice to charities, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations working in the voluntary sector. The wider Bishop & Sewell team includes legal experts in charity and commercial law, employment law, commercial property, disputes and wills and charitable legacies.
Our specialist solicitors understand the challenges facing individuals and organisations operating in this sector, and we offer comprehensive, practical and tailored advice. Our team of expert charity lawyers helps to navigate the unique legal and regulatory requirements of the sector, ensuring legal compliance alongside commercial objectives.
With specific regulations governing the charity sector, it is vital that charities and not-for-profit organisations have access to expert legal advice. Whether you are establishing a new charity, planning a merger, updating your Constitution or selling charitable property, our support can help you to navigate the complex rules governing charities and ensure legal compliance, whether you are a small start-up or a large, national organisation.
As a firm, we are also passionate about supporting the charitable sector. As well as our own Bishop & Sewell charitable foundation, and in addition to the charities we support through our volunteer/pro bono scheme, we regularly take part in fundraising along with awareness-raising activities, sporting events and other initiatives in our offices and within the community.
If you need advice relating to your charity, social enterprise or not-for-profit organisation, please contact Olivia Meekin in our private client team.
