Charitable giving in England covers how individuals, companies and organisations donate, gift aid, and manage charitable funds in line with charity law and regulatory requirements. A solicitor in this area helps structure gifts, set up charitable trusts or charitable incorporated organisations, draft gift agreements, review terms of donations, and ensure compliance with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, funder requirements, and relevant charity tax relief schemes. They also advise on governance, reporting, and safeguarding donor intent across fundraising campaigns and grant-making activities.
The solicitor explains the formal structures governing gifts, such as trusts and charitable companies, and handles documentation for donations, gift aid claims, endowments, and restricted funds. They navigate charity law, charity accounting, and regulatory reporting, including progressing changes in governing documents, safeguarding donor intent, and complying with reporting duties to the Charity Commission for England and Wales. They coordinate with trustees, fundraisers, grant-makers, and, when needed, external auditors or regulators to maintain lawful, transparent charitable activity.

Tagged solicitors Andrew Best and Clair Marsden
Andrew Best and Claire Marsden of HSR Law supported us through the process of achieving charitable status for our company in the charitable sector. I cannot praise them enough. They expertly assisted in changing our articles, supporting us through the legalities and procedures needed to achieve the required board structures and gave advice on completing an application to the charities commission. We could not have done this without their knowledge, support and patience and we are so grateful for all that they have done for our company and helping us to widen the opportunities for our students with complex learning disabilities.

Tagged solicitor Ryan Mitchell
Our experience of working with Ryan has been exceptional. He has always responded in quick time, has the ability to communicate extremely well with us.. we are all volunteers running a member organisation with no legal expertise, his advice and explanations have been much appreciated. Where a question / issue is outside his expertise, he has put us in touch with appropriate colleagues. We are very grateful to have have had Paris Smith recommended to us, and for Ryan to be our go to advisor. Thank you Ryan. Anne McBride, Chair of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors

Tagged solicitor Debbie Coyne
We recently met with Debbie, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis to review upcoming employment law changes and our wider HR and policy arrangements. The session was extremely helpful, practical and well balanced. What stood out was the ability to combine strong legal knowledge with a clear understanding of how organisations actually operate in practice, particularly within a charity and care environment. Rather than simply focusing on compliance, the discussion helped us think more broadly about organisational structure, policy ownership and employment risk as we continue to develop as a leadership team. We came away with clearer priorities, practical next steps and plenty to reflect on internally. Thank you again to Debbie, Sylviane and the wider team for such a constructive and welcoming session.
