Withers Worldwide

Non-for-profit organizations (Nfps) need lawyers who share their vision of making a positive difference to the world, but at the same time appreciate the commercial and practical realities shaping their operation.

One of the team's core strengths is understanding how vision and charity law considerations interact and finding innovative solutions to ensure we can help make things happen rather than saying why they cannot.

Over the years we have worked with clients on a wide range of operational matters, such as: effective governance, charity mergers, fundraising, sponsorship and the implications of working with other institutions, be they Nfps, public bodies or for-profit businesses.

Our charity clients represent the diversity of the sector.  We act for charities working in education (Girls' Day School Trust and Christ's Hospital), healthcare and research (Macmillan Cancer Support, Cancer Research UK, NHS-related charities and the College of Optometrists), international relief (The British Red Cross Society, and Womankind Worldwide), the Arts (Youth Music, Arts Council England, Royal Academy of Dance and the TATE ), Climate Change (PURE the Clean Planet Trust) and the protection of the vulnerable (the NSPCC and the RSPCA).
