Lucy Rhodes

I am a charity law specialist with a varied practice.

I advise on a range of legal issues that affect charities and not-for-profits of all sizes: models of philanthropy, setting up new charities, governance and constitutional issues, regulatory dealing with Charity Commission, grant funding arrangements and restructures including mergers and incorporations.

I have a particular interest in technical charity law issues and structures, such as trusts, endowments and Royal Charter charities and regularly engage with policy initiatives and legal changes in this area. My view is that a disproportionate amount of charity time and money is spent on administration and regulatory compliance and that this needs to change.
