UK-based charities may occasionally have differences of opinion with the Charity Commission, which need to be resolved.
We have extensive experience in dealing with regulatory disputes, not only with the Charity Commission, but also with the Attorney General and with other relevant public bodies. For example, NHS-related charities may get into disagreement with the Department of Health, or housing associations fall out with the Housing Corporation.
In the US conflicts occasionally arise between a charity and the IRS or the Attorney General for the state in which the charity operates. We have dealt with a variety of disputes between the states' attorneys general and charitable trusts relating to the reformation of charitable trust interests.
