corporate structuring
Risk limitation, management,
compliance with the charity law restrictions on trading, tax,
accounting and management requirements are factors that influence
the structure of any charitable organisation.
Our Charities group has
a comprehensive knowledge of the different legal corporate forms
and have significant experience in commercial, corporate,
transactional and structuring work, both in UK and internationally.
Many of our corporate finance lawyers regularly advise charity
clients on such issues and our work in this area is further
supported by our in-house Corporate Tax team.
If charities do get into
financial difficulties then we can help. We have one of the largest
insolvency and business recovery teams of its kind in the country.
Our services include advising charities on business turnaround
rescues and the use of insolvency procedures and we frequently
advise directors and trustees of their duties and responsibilities
with regard to insolvency issues.
