- News & Insights
Charities and other forms of not-for profits are businesses. At their heart is purpose rather than profit, but they’re still businesses and they need to make money to achieve that purpose.
Charities contribute around £15 billion to the UK economy. As businesses they need lots of different types of support, whether that be legal, business or strategic.
It’s very difficult to determine what a charity lawyer is, because what I tend to do is like being a conductor of an orchestra. It encompasses everything that a charity needs in terms of its governance, business, fundraising and strategy. All of that doesn’t come neatly under one heading or job title, so I need to call upon colleagues from across all different practice areas across the firm to help the charity at that particular time.
