At Bates Wells, we work with a wide range of international organisations, to support you in navigating the English landscape for charities and non-profits.
In the face of increasing concerns about the regulatory landscape in the US, we are working with a number of clients to explore their options for maintaining resilience and mitigating risk – working closely with US advisors to ensure that the solution works in both regimes.
For organisations without an existing UK base, we have prepared a short guide for setting up in the UK. Please get in touch to request a copy – and we’d be happy to have a free conversation, too, to help you explore your options.
For entities within existing international federations, we can support you to understand how you can use your existing framework as a backstop to buffer you through political instability. That might involve transferring funds from the US to the UK, shifting operations, or exploring more complex mechanics to ensure that your work can continue in the face of unexpected regulatory shifts.
The UK remains a stable landscape for charities and non-profits, with strong public support for climate and development work, and relatively low barriers to operational entry for US organisations – thanks to the shared language and relatively similar legal regimes. If you’re looking at your options, please get in touch with one of the team – we’re happy to chat.
Please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
