Charities & Not-for-profits
Charities and not-for-profit organisations operate in an environment where they’re competing against their for-profit counterparts. Consumers come armed with more knowledge than ever and with the expectation that their investment will produce quantifiable results.
Our Charities & Not-for-profit Expertise
Charities and not-for-profit organisations continue to explore options to become more sustainable, whilst building on their existing offerings to the community.
That means there’s a drive for consolidation through mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, income generation innovation and enhanced governance. The complexities of these operating models means our not-for-profit clients demand a more commercial approach to legal advice.
We advise a wide range of charities and not-for-profits of the full range of commercial issues, including asset protection, contracts, governance, intellectual property, privacy and property. We assist in solving employment law issues and also represent clients in this sector at government inquiries, investigations, complaints and inquests.
We also advise our clients on all aspects of charity law and on philanthropy and bequests.
