Trading charities
Most of the largest charities that operate in England and Wales are corporate entities undertaking substantial trading activities. As such, they require corporate and commercial support from lawyers that understand not only those disciplines, but also the regulatory environment in which charities operate. Our specialist charities team has experience of providing this advice alongside members of the corporate team to deal with the full range of corporate advice required by charities including, in particular, incorporation, restructurings, mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures, taking particular account of the need to protect the taxation position of the charities concerned.
