Charities and Not for Profit
We have a robust track record in the field of charity law.
As we value our clients, understand the law and use correct structural planning - we achieve the results you need.
We advise clients - both incorporated and unincorporated - on structuring, formation, charitable status, activities and governance. We also advise on contentious issues involving charities entitlements and assets; and administration and use of charitable status.
We also provide charities with complementary advice in a broad range of requirements. This includes advising charities on asset and business purchases; commercial law, real estate matters; and, supporting their non-charitable trading subsidiaries on all their corporate affairs.
Grayson law supports charity and giving back to the community. Our partners are actively involved on the boards of local, regional and national charitable organisations.
Philanthropy & charitable giving
Increasingly, successful people wish to use their wealth to make the world a better place, in their own lifetime and beyond.
There are many different ways to support a worthwhile cause, each of which can have different legal and financial implications for the donor. Drawing on our experience in the fields of not-for profit and charity law and tax advice, our philanthropy and charitable practice has extensive experience of finding the most appropriate way of achieving your philanthropic aspirations in your differing circumstances.
In some cases, clients will wish to support existing charitable entities; in other circumstances, establishing a new charitable foundation may be the preferred way of furthering individual philanthropic aims.
Our team can also help you considering other ways of making a difference, whether through projects such as venture philanthropy and microfinance, or by adopting a policy of 'socially responsible investment'.
