CHARITY PROPERTY

As a charity, you must comply with an independent body of law, which affects nearly every transaction you undertake. To protect your charity and its trustees, it’s important you receive legal advice from lawyers who understand how your charitable status differs from other organisations, and who offer in-depth knowledge of the laws to which you must adhere.
