Shared values, expert advice: Delivering dedicated legal care to the Methodist Church

The Challenge

The principal function of the Board for the Trustees for Methodist Church Purpose’s (TMCP), is to act as custodian trustee of all property held on Model Trusts of the Methodist Church Act 1976.

Local churches, circuits and districts find themselves needing legal advice from time to time on a wide range of issues.

The Solution

To assist Managing Trustees in getting the right legal advice, TMCP have established a Methodist panel of solicitors of which Anthony Collins is one.

As a member of the panel, Anthony Collins advise on issues such as property transactions, disputes, charity Law, model trusts and governance, employment law and pensions matters, litigation and safeguarding, ecumenical work and other specialist areas including trusts, data protection, reputational issues, schools, grants and fundraising.
