Charities & Philanthropy

Our charities and philanthropy practice advises charities and non-for profit organisations in respect of all their legal and tax requirements.

We also advise individuals, families, family offices and corporates in their creation, funding and management of charities and foundations.

Our clients operate in many jurisdictions and so our advice will often involve multiple jurisdictions and different regulatory and tax regimes.

Set out below are examples of the advice we provide to those creating and funding charities.

• Strategic philanthropy planning, including how best to structure impact investments and support for social enterprises.
• Advising on the structuring and location of philanthropic vehicles to facilitate cross border giving.
• How to use philanthropy in educating the younger generation and as a succession planning tool.
• Advice on and creating grant making and operational charitable entities, including advice in respect of tax arrangements, compliance and all regulatory matters
