Act Now
Outdated charity expertise
We do not recommend Pearce Legal for charity matters. Their knowledge is outdated and ineffective. The charity sector has changed significantly in recent years and Pearce Legal have not kept up with developments. We paid them a large amount of money, we invested considerable time in briefing them and waited a long time for results. They failed to deliver anything of value and after months of waiting, we ended up in exactly the same position we started in. Pearce Legal simply said there’s nothing more we can do and abandoned us. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

A representative from Pearcelegal Limited responded to this review
We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. This matter involved an application to the Charity Commission, where outcomes are ultimately determined by the Commission itself. Following the initial application, we acted on feedback provided by the Charity Commission and submitted a revised application, at no additional cost, in an effort to move matters forward. Unfortunately, the second application was considered by a different case officer who took a different view from their colleague, resulting in conflicting guidance. We fully recognise how frustrating this situation was, and we share that frustration, as we did everything we reasonably could to progress the application in line with the regulator’s own recommendations. We are committed to providing a high standard of service and would have welcomed the opportunity to address the matter further.
