Cripps Harries Hall

There are over 190,000 registered charities in England and Wales. Society increasingly relies on you to provide key services and amenities in a well organised, effective and accountable way. The growing demands of the regulatory environment, including major changes to charity law, increase your burden.  You need the same legal help that profit-making businesses do.

What we do

We offer a complete service for charities and other not-for-profit organisations such as Community Interest Companies (CICs) and sports clubs.

If you are thinking of setting up such an organisation, we can advise, help you form the right kind of legal entity, and arrange for registration.

As an existing organisation you will, like all businesses, need legal support from time to time. Charities also need to deal with the Charity Commission. Many have trustees who need advice on their responsibilities, and may find our trust management and accounting services useful.

There are occasional disputes, perhaps over a legacy or a supporter's Will. This is an area we specialise in.

Our clients

We represent organisations of all sizes, from local community groups to well-known names.
