Our Charity and Community team has a wealth of experience and expertise in advising US non-profit organisations on the UK legal and regulatory environment for charities and other non-profits. This work has intensified in recent months, as non-profits respond to challenges arising from the regulatory climate in the US.
We are:
Guiding organisations that do not currently have a UK presence on options for setting up here. Typically, this involves establishing a charity overseen by a UK charity regulator.
Assisting organisations with an existing UK foothold on strategies to enhance their UK presence. This might, for example, involve scaling up UK fundraising, employing individuals here, or moving funds to the UK.
Advising UK charities with a US presence, as well as UK organisations with significant US funding arrangements.
The robust UK regulatory framework, coupled with an attractive tax regime, provides a stable and supportive environment for charitable activities.
Our experience working with US clients includes international NGOs, conservation and environmental charities, higher education institutions and healthcare providers, as well as advising philanthropists and grant-making foundations. We are renowned for our work with charities with global networks.
We provide seamless cross-border advice, working closely with our established network of leading US lawyers.
Please get in touch to discuss any of these issues with us.
