Charity law has always been a core area of work at Withers. Our team helps Not-for-Profit Organizations (Nfps) at every stage of their development involving lawyers from many of the firm's different practice areas.
We are recognized as one of England's leading charity law practices. We act for many of the UK's top charities and are frequently referred work by other lawyers and intermediaries because of our in-depth knowledge of charities and the laws that apply to them. We have particular experience in relation to charities operating in the fields of education, healthcare and the arts.
Many of our charity and philanthropy team are themselves charity trustees, giving our team a very real insight as to the concerns, governance and aspirations of Nfps.

We work with a broad spectrum of charity clients, including well-known registered charities such as the British Red Cross Society, the NSPCC and Macmillan Cancer Support, exempt charities and public bodies such as The TATE and the UK Film Council. We act for more NHS-related charities in the UK than any other firm. We also help to set up new charities for clients ranging from entrepreneurs, wealthy families and companies to existing charities with innovative ideas for making a difference.
