Charities
Unfortunately charities are not immune to disputes, and when charities become involved in litigation it is important that time and costs are kept to a minimum.
Our team advises charities on the most efficient methods of dispute resolution, often handling highly sensitive cases. With expertise covering all aspects of charity law from set-up and governance to tax advice, where we really stand out is in fighting for you.
Our expertise covers issues such as:
- Disputes involving trustees, including fallings-out between trustees and breaches of trust
- Commercial disputes
- Disputes with other charities
- Disputes with the Charity Commission and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), Charity Commission inquiries and appeals against their decisions
- Charity proceedings and application to be joined as a party to proceedings
- Beddoes applications authorising trustees to become involved in litigation.
- Legacy fundraising and contested probate, including rectification proceedings and claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, challenges to validity and interpretation of wills and caveats
- Executors’ powers and duties
- Commercial Issues
- Philanthropy
- Non-contentious wills, trusts and probate
