Constitutional & Governance

Constitutional and governance structures have to be effective and fit for purpose to enable organisations to work to their best in the current challenging commercial and regulatory environment.

Our approach is to ensure that our clients are kept up to date with developments and adopt constitutional and governance arrangements that are practical and efficient.

We bring this approach to our advice on:

• Review of constitutions
• Reviewing and refreshing internal governance arrangements to meet latest best practice expectations
• Organisation of charity structures – including establishing or re-organising group structures
• Rationalising subsidiary or related charities
• Dealing with permanent endowment
• Joint working arrangements between charities and other voluntary sector organisations
• Mergers
• Incorporating trusts and unincorporated associations to limit potential liabilities of trustees
• Dissolution
