Services for Charities

At Hunt & Coombs, we have worked with charities for many years.  We provide legal advice to charities ranging from private schools to a wildlife charity to religious organisations.  Our legal services for charities are provided by experienced lawyers and include:

• advising on charity formation and the best possible legal structure for your charity
• advising on the legal duties and responsibilities of your trustees
• preparing and reviewing Charities' governing documents
• assisting your charity with the acquisition and disposal of land
• advising your trustees on the laws governing investment, trading and funding
• reviewing the charity's assets and advising on their permanent endowment status
• advising you on s29 of the Charities Act and Charity Commission Schemes and orders
• helping you comply with legislation on money laundering, data protection and health and safety
• drawing up contracts for general purposes
• advising you on recruiting and managing staff and meeting legal requirements to avoid costly disputes

If your charity needs legal help and advice on the law, please contact us to see how we can assist you.
