Creativity Commitment Community

Helping you meet the challenges of being a modern charity

Whatever the issues you face as a charity, we are here to give you clear advice and guidance, help you overcome any challenges and enable you to achieve your aims.

Our Pedigree

Our team of specialist lawyers and consultants serve charities throughout England and Wales from our offices in Birmingham. In fact over two thirds of our firm is dedicated to the Third Sector. Our Charities Team helps all types of charities - global, national or community based and companies, trusts or churches. Clients include:

  • Tearfund
  • Spring Harvest
  • RoSPA
  • Mind
  • Groundwork UK
  • FIEC
  • The Baptist Union

We understand the ethos and culture of the charity sector and also that modern charities operate best in a well-ordered and business-like way. We recognise the need for charities to interact with the commercial world in many of their aspirations and activities.

Our People

The Team is led by senior partner Romaine Thompson, who is a nationally recognised charity law expert with long experience in all areas of charity law and regulation. The team also has specialists in:

  • Churches and religious organisations
  • Collaborative working and joint ventures
  • Group structures and trading subsidiaries
  • Data protection and other compliance matters
  • Training in governance and legal responsibilities

Keeping Pace

In the fast-changing world in which charities operate, it's vital to keep up to date with the law, regulation, the funding environment, best practice, how the organisations you deal with change, and the support services available to you.

This is where we can help. Our regular email briefing service will take the burden off your shoulders and allow you to be aware of key developments as they arise. We draw from a wide range of sources to ensure you keep pace with change.
