Climate change legislation and regulation has a significant impact for charities and the voluntary sector. This is not only in respect of ongoing compliance issues, but also the sustainable credentials of an organisation are an increasing focus in attracting donors.

Our Charities group is acknowledged in key independent legal directories as one of the leading regional practices for the provision of charity law services and is ranked first in the south east, south and Thames Valley.

Chambers UK, A Client’s Guide to the Legal Profession 2009, states that:

"this Charities team... never fails to give its all for clients.”

Typically those areas where we are able to help include:

  • advising trustees on the implications of climate change legislation and regulations and the discharge of their duties
  • the provision of commercial services to charities
  • the provision of charity law services to charities operating in the climate change sector
  • advising commercial organisations on contracts for not-for-profit entities.
