We work with a portfolio of national charitable companies and professional institutes.

Managing Director, Shelagh Smith, who heads our services for charities, explains our approach

"We understand the environment within which charitable companies must operate and work hard to help the organisations we work with to achieve their goals."

Our work involves us in a range of issues including joint ventures and mergers, formations and constitutional re-organisations,

subsidiary trading companies, issues surrounding investments, relationships between branch networks and the central organisation together with a range of operational issues that any charity faces from time to time.

Shelagh is based in our Company & Commercial department and deals with mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and commercial agreements for both charities and commercial organisations.

We operate through a multi-disciplinary team calling upon solicitors with different skills and who understand a charity’s requirements.
