Charity formation

Setting up a charity is far easier if you seek legal advice early on.

What we do

We talk about your plans, whether what you propose is charitable and capable of registration with the Charity Commission.

We discuss the best structure for your organisation, and help you set it up. We offer not just legal advice, but practical support, based on our experience. Helping you to choose charity trustees, for example.

And we handle the registration process for you.
