Charity Lawyers

As part of one of the leading law firms in the North West, providing expert legal advice to charities and social enterprises has always been a core work area for Slater Heelis.

Our charity lawyers draw on their wide-ranging experience of corporate and commercial law to deliver practical solutions for any legal challenge you may be facing.

We work closely with charities, social enterprises and faith organisations at all stages of their development, which gives us an in-depth understanding of the environment in which these varied institutions operate.

Our client base includes guarantee companies, unincorporated trusts, community interest companies, faith groups and many other forms of social enterprises, such as community benefit societies and co-operatives.

It has never been more essential for businesses operating in the third sector to scope out opportunities and risks from a judicious legal perspective before committing to any large financial or operational decisions.

We are here to make sure you make informed legal decisions at every possible turn.
