We assist third sector clients in all stages of their evolution, from advice upon formation through to modernisation of the constitution for established bodies to ensure that they continue to work effectively.

Examples of the types of work we handle in this area:

• Initial advice upon whether charitable status is desirable and ensuring that the appropriate activities are carried out by the appropriate body within the structure
• Formation and registration of charities, companies, community interest companies, provident societies and CIOs
• Regulatory and compliance issues such as ensuring that changes in legislation are complied with in the most effective manner and charitable status is maintained.
• Subsidiaries and networking - setting up a model for the formation of branches and the financing and support of those branches.
• Dealing with members and due process
