Distressed charities

If you are involved in the running of a charity that has become insolvent, or is failing financially, Edwin Coe can advise on insolvency and the next steps to take. We are insolvency specialists with extensive experience in the charitable sector. When a charity becomes insolvent, the actions of the charity’s directors and trustees leading up to insolvency will come under scrutiny to establish the cause of its downfall, and allow for any necessary action to be taken.

A number of different charity structures are available in the UK, and in this respect, the ramifications for those involved in setting up and running each charity depend on the structure chosen.

Whether you need advice on navigating charity law, regulation or governance or you need assistance with corporate simplification or dealing with the financial effects of Covid-19, we can offer a team of specialist lawyers to support you through every stage of your journey.
