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”
