Philanthropy and Charitable Giving
As an independent London firm with deep private client and private capital experience, we combine legal expertise with strategic understanding. We work closely with our clients and their professional advisers to identify the right structures, governance frameworks and tax-efficient solutions to achieve personal and philanthropic goals. The guidance we provide gives you the confidence to give well.
A joined-up view
Effective philanthropy begins with clarity of purpose. We take time to understand what motivates your giving and what outcomes you want to achieve – whether that’s empowering future generations to steward family wealth, addressing global challenges, or strengthening your organisation’s ESG commitments.
Our lawyers advise across the full spectrum of giving, including:
- Establishing UK and international charities and foundations
- Creating donor-advised funds and family charitable vehicles
- Structuring lifetime and testamentary gifts
- Advising on tax-efficient giving strategies
- Corporate giving and social impact investment
- Charity governance, administration and regulatory compliance
- For clients with global connections, we coordinate with trusted advisers to navigate cross-border giving and manage international risk.
Quiet strength. Lasting value.
We understand that philanthropy is both personal and practical. Our approach is thoughtful, discreet and pragmatic – ensuring that your giving is well-structured, compliant and aligned with your values. We also support families and boards as they introduce the next generation to responsible decision-making and social purpose.
As a certified B Corporation, we share our clients’ commitment to balancing profit, people and purpose – helping you ensure that your generosity achieves lasting good.
Advice with a purpose
Drawing on our expertise across tax, trusts, corporate and charity law, we provide advice that connects the legal, financial and human aspects of giving. We look beyond today’s arrangements to ensure your philanthropy remains relevant and resilient – maximising its reach, its effectiveness and its legacy.
Collaborative in approach. Committed in purpose. Connected where it matters most.
