Philanthropists are understandably always looking to structure their support of the arts in tax-efficient ways. Our team helps clients find appropriate ways of using their wealth philanthropically, reflecting their personal interests, goals and circumstances, and reducing taxes to a minimum. This can involve supporting an existing charity or, in some cases, establishing a new one.
We assist clients in setting up US qualified, UK qualified and dual UK/US qualified charitable structures to support the arts all over the world. We have pioneered use of the dual US/UK structure to ensure tax efficient giving by US individuals resident in the UK. We also advise on their ongoing compliance and operation, including the best ways to involve other family members in the charity. Some of these charities conceive and manage their own projects, while others make grants to support existing organizations in their arts-based work.

A number of our clients want to keep their philanthropic activities private, in which case we may advise on the establishment of a foundation that allows them to further their charitable goals whilst maintaining their privacy. In the US we advise private foundations and have represented some of the largest foundations in the country.
Others choose to use their name and position to inspire other successful people to engage in similar activities. We have set up charitable foundations for members of the Matisse family, Peter Harrison and Roger de Haan. We also advise established philanthropic enterprises, including the Batty, Chapman, Paul Hamlyn and Garfield Weston foundations.
