As a leading charity law practice, we are constantly looking
at how we can improve our service to clients. In addition
to providing a wide range of legal expertise we would like
to offer you something extra. We think we can offer you genuine
added value by bringing together practical professional advice
from both legal and other disciplines with specific relevance
and application to charities and not-for-profit organisations.

our first series of Charity Plus workshops which will cover
