The Charities team advise on a broad range of specialist areas, from set-up and registration, through to advice on taxation of donations, trading, VAT, employment, advertising and data protection. We deliver solutions for a wide range of not-for-profit organisations, from private family grant making charities through to large global names, so we understand the full range of issues they may be facing.
We provide a one-stop shop for charities, non-profit organisations and philanthropists, advising not only on charity law but also covering all the areas on which a charity will need advice – from advertising to tax and everything in between.
We have helped individuals and groups to launch numerous charities from simple grant-making trusts to active charities in sectors including education, social mobility, human rights and the preservation of historical buildings.
We don’t stop there. Working with colleagues across Osborne Clarke we can provide specialist tax advice, help you buy or rent offices, make investments, draft grant and gift aid documentation, handle employment issues and generally ensure you comply with the ever-expanding set of rules and regulations.
Well-established charities may be incorporating, merging or entering joint ventures to provide their services in a new way. Our pensions team can help those with significant pension liabilities or those looking to centralise the pension function.
Our clients are both domestic and international and include family foundations, corporate charities and household names. We advise philanthropists and non-profits from all over the world who are looking to base their organisation in a stable, well regulated environment or expand their activities into another jurisdiction.
