For many charities their vision and values demand that they have
an effective constitutional and corporate structure and that they
maintain the highest standards of corporate
governance. Our experienced team of charity
lawyers provide constitutional and governance advice of the
highest standards for a wide range of charities including
organisations such as The Mary Rose Trust, Portsmouth Diocese,
Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, RNLI, Mission to
Seafarers, Sailors' Society, a number of Oxford Colleges, Thames
Valley Hospice, Rainer Crime Concern, the Royal Navy Submarine
Museum, the General Optical Council and HMS Trincomalee.
Our charity lawyers have substantial experience in advising
chartered and other large charities in work involving large scale
reviews and restructuring of their constitutional and governance
arrangements, advising and briefing trustee bodies on changes to
law and practice affecting governance, and advising on specific
constitutional and governance issues.
In our experience, a constitutional review can
be expensive and protracted if it is not well managed. We provide a
fresh thinking, efficient service to achieve the highest quality
outcome. We offer a specially developed project management tool for
reviewing your charter and bye-laws and other governance documents.
This provides an organised framework for setting timescales,
milestones, and benchmarks, implementation and cost
control.
