Charity law

Our charity lawyers have significant expertise in assisting the charity and third sector, and many of them sit on charity boards themselves.

Covering everything a charity needs to know about legal obligations and compliance

Running a charity is similar to running a business, in that there is specific legislation that has to be adhered to, and rules and regulations that apply, let alone finance issues. Our charity lawyers have significant expertise in assisting the charity and third sector, and many of them sit on charity boards themselves.

They can help with setting up a charity, ongoing compliance, codes of governance, relationship with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). They can also work with financial advisers on designing an effective and profitable investment strategy for your organisation.

We always work in your charity’s best interests and can advise both on contract, property, regulatory, litigation or employment law and any specific implications these areas they have for your non-profit organisation. Our clients come from both small and large charitable organisations, so whatever your charity law needs, we can help.

This is not a service we offer to consumers in England.
