Our specialist charities team provide full-service advice and guidance on all legal, regulatory, and governance matters impacting on charities. Acting for not-for profit organisations across a range of sectors, our clients range from large, established household names to smaller, locally based organisations.
We work with a diverse range of charitable organisations, including charitable hospitals, social care providers, NHS charities, charities delivering mental health services, hospices, housing associations, universities and colleges, professional bodies, and research charities.
We continue to use our extensive knowledge of the regulatory environment in which health and social care charities operate to provide pragmatic and commercially-focused advice. Working closely with regulators such as the Charity Commission, CQC, and the ICO enables us to understand their approach and manage day-to-day issues, governance, and critical incidents involving public and media scrutiny.
Our experts advise charities on all aspects of their operations and throughout their life cycle. We advise on significant strategic projects such as collaborations and mergers as well as more business-as-usual activities including governance reviews and commercial contracts. Our areas of expertise include:
Advising trustees of a major charitable hospital on an international collaboration with a leading US academic healthcare system
Managing serious incident reporting to the Charity Commission for a range of charities, including matters involving safeguarding, alleged fraud, and trustee disputes
Advising a large health charity on whistleblowing and grievance procedures following employee concerns, including strategic guidance on internal processes, engaging with the Charity Commission in respect of a serious incident report, and providing support to manage reputational risk among stakeholders and the public
