Experience
Having trained at a large corporate law firm, I am now honing my skills working with charities and social enterprises at Bates Wells.
I advise all manner of organisations within those sectors, ranging from large international grant-giving organisations to small sports clubs. My particular focus is on sports-related clients, including clubs, corporate foundations, national governing bodies, grant-giving organisations and many more.
- I recently advised two large grant-giving charities on their international structures.
- I advised a multi-sports club on constitutional and governance issues and helped to develop a model constitution for clubs for a national governing body.
- I redrafted the constitution of a sports organisation to rethink its membership structure.
- I set up and registered The Ruth Strauss Foundation .
- I help lots of organisations to develop their grant-giving strategies, processes and terms and conditions.
- I advised a large research institution on the receipt of a grant to establish a nine-year climate change focused project.
- I worked with three organisations to manage the relationship between the charity and its trading subsidiary.
