CIOs are a corporate form of charity registration in England and Wales. This work covers establishing or running a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, drafting the governing document, appointing trustees, and ensuring compliance with charity law, reporting duties, accounts, and fundraising rules. A solicitor helps draft or amend constitutions and trust deeds, registers the charity with the Charity Commission, files annual returns, and advises on governance, safeguarding, conflicts of interest, loans and insolvency risks, and regulatory investigations. They coordinate with funders, auditors, and regulatory bodies to protect the charity's status.

Tagged solicitor Sharon Hawkes
Sharon Hawkes was excellent, professional and responsive from the outset. She also initiated an outcome that we had not considered and she acted with integrity and commitment, and I believe genuine care throughout.
