Charities and other third sector organisations require specialist knowledge and expertise to fulfil their objectives. This includes understanding the legal and regulatory landscape within which they operate.
Our team of experts regularly advise charities and other not for profit organisations with their everyday requirements, as well as assisting them with more significant opportunities and projects.
We act for charities and other social enterprises both locally and nationally. This involves assisting charities with the formation process, including liaising with OSCR (the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator), and understanding how to meet the charity test. We also assist trustees with their legal duties throughout the life of the charity. Charities often approach us to advise on the legal aspects of restructuring their organisations working alongside other professional advisors.
Our experience also extends to sports clubs and local community groups who often have their own bespoke requirements.
We also offer the following services to our charity and third sector clients as and when required:
- Premises advice
- Dispute resolution
- Contractual advice
- Data protection
- Reputation management
