We advise many Charities and Church bodies on the procedures involved in establishing a charity. Typically, charities are formed either by Declaration of Trust or by Incorporation as a Company Limited by Guarantee. We help you select the most appropriate structure for your Charity.

We also assist in Applications for Charitable Status and on any issues involving the Commissioners for Charitable Bequests and Donations.

We advise Companies Limited by Guarantee on the procedures required for Annual General Meetings, the making of Special Resolutions, Retirement of Trustees and so forth.

Other matters often arising for Charities are Employment Law issues and property transactions. See earlier pages on this website for details.
