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.

It requires handling regulatory interactions with the Charity Commission, managing conflicts of interest, safeguarding, and dealing with potential inquiries or investigations, as well as coordinating with lenders, auditors, and funders to preserve charitable status.

Lucy Owen

Tagged solicitor Lucy Owen

I recently decided to write my Will and giving a donation to the RNLI - a Charity close to my heart as it Saves Lives. On looking at the RNLI Website I found Richard Griffiths & Co Solicitors in New Milton was closest to my home. From the first Telephone call to the Company I received First Class treatment - Courtesy, Respect and Sensitivity.. Lucy Owen was the Solicitor helping me. A most delightful young lady. I could not fault the time she gave up to me., asking relevant questions to ensure I knew my wishes are exact. I cannot recommend her more highly. Thank You
