Faith-based Organisations

We’re charity specialists, so we understand the challenges you face – from demonstrating public benefit to the Charity Commission, through to the employment law around volunteers. We help with immigration, including visas and helping families returning from service abroad. We advise on real estate, including buying, selling and using it to finance new ventures – all while complying with charity law.

We advise on establishing and registering faith-based charities, as well as their governance and constitutions, internal disputes, fundraising and financing, mergers and reorganisations, tax planning and VAT, property and places of worship, reputation management and media relations, and safeguarding vulnerable beneficiaries.

We help with regulatory compliance cases launched by HMRC and the Charity Commission. Our disputes team regularly help resolve seemingly intractable disputes, from internal governance and membership issues to disputes with suppliers and other third parties. Also, for faith-based organisations that cross borders, we help set up international structures.
