Specialist Charity & Social Enterprise Sector Legal Advice
Charities and Social Enterprises
Our Charities and Social Enterprises team sits at the very heart of PHP. Whether it is setting up new enterprises or supporting existing charities, we bring our unique, values driven approach to everything we do. Whilst it is a cliché, we can genuinely say that we provide a “one stop shop” for our charity clients, undertaking regular governance reviews to ensure they remain up to date and fit for purpose. It is a hugely challenging environment, particularly those working with local authorities and other commissioning authorities.
We are well known for our work on:
Governance reviews and training
Creation of new charities and advice on legal models
Group structures and consolidation
Trading issues
Fundraising
Disposal of land and assets
Charitable foundations
Recruitment, selection, appointment and induction of new trustees
With a strength and depth in all areas, we also advise on:
Charity law
Company law
Regulation
Compliance
Duties and responsibilities of Trustees / Directors
Liaison with Charity Commission / HMRC / FCA
“We chose to instruct PHP Law because of the individuals at the firm and the value they add. We have worked with quite a few firms since the Trust was set up and PHP are the only ones to meet the standards we set”
