Services to Charities

Charity and voluntary sector work is at the heart of Ellis-Fermor & Negus’ practice. The firm is one of the oldest in the region and has an established role in the Midlands for advice in this area.
Being the trustee or manager of a charity can be a real challenge. You are ultimately responsible for the charity meeting its legal obligations and strategic objectives, which is why it’s important to get sound charity law and regulatory advice at every stage.
As Charity Law solicitors we take a flexible approach to your needs and tailor our services accordingly. Some clients choose to use us to address a wide variety of issues, almost like in-house lawyers. We provide them with advice on matters as diverse as negotiating with the Charity Commission to obtaining consent to remunerate a trustee, protecting a charity logo, or entering into a fund-raising agreement with a commercial entity.
When you choose Ellis-Fermor & Negus, you do not get just one of our expert charity lawyers; you get a whole team. This means you benefit from a thorough service covering not just charity law, but also other complex areas such as corporate governance, employment, property and planning, contracts, intellectual property and other commercial matters.


We can help with:

1. Advice on pure charity issues

Charity registration
Trustee issues

2. Charity changes

Property
Employment
