Lawyers across a wide range of practice areas can often have clients involved in charitable organisations, not for profits or other philanthropic ventures. This can require a complex set of skills as they often operate in a very regulatory and fast-moving environment and any lawyer, whether in commercial, tax, estate planning, property, and governance should all have a basic understanding of this area if they need to advise their clients. 

This seminar will discuss these issues and more including: 

  • Governance obligations and directors’ duties under different legal structures 
  • How to choose the right structure for your client: incorporated associations, companies limited by guarantee, charitable trusts and more 
  • Understanding the role of the regulators and responding to a regulatory investigation 
  • Charity registration, tax concessions, and navigating fundraising laws across jurisdictions 

No matter who you act for, ensure that you can confidently navigate the risks, ensure compliance, and deliver clear, strategic advice to your client in this rapidly changing environment.
