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. They may advise on mergers, dissolution, cycles of reporting to the Charity Commission, fundraising rules, and liaising with church bodies and donors to protect charitable purposes.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

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. They help anticipate issues before they arise, prepare governing documents, and coordinate with trustees to protect charitable assets and ensure funds are used for their stated purposes.
