This work covers the governance, formation, fundraising and ongoing compliance of churches and other charitable bodies in England. A solicitor in this area helps establish or restructure charities, draft governing documents, apply for charity registration, manage property and endowments, handle charitable trust administration, and respond to regulatory submissions and safeguarding requirements.

Charities in England are regulated by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. A solicitor provides professional oversight, ensuring compliant governance, robust risk controls, and accountability through regulatory reporting and statutory duties.

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.
