Institutional Client review:
Robert has been advising the Charity I work for since 2006. He can make the legal jargon understandable and has been creative in finding solutions to governance that favour the simple and straight forward. He is excellent at reassuring me that the legal issue I have is not a crisis. This, with the wealth of experience of charity law, and in our case, faith-based charities, has me returning to him for our legal services.

Robert is a superb lawyer and trusted advisor, combining a reassuringly empathetic understanding of our challenges, however complex or subtle, and sharing with clarity the exceptional breadth and depth of his legal expertise. He is comprehensive and creative when suggesting potential actions and workable options, while also encouraging considerations for any alternatives more suited to us. Robert's friendly and humorous approach puts you at ease, while his work is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend him highly enough for any charities and any related concerns.

Institutional Client review:
Robert is an exceptional lawyer who was instrumental in the formation of our Foundation. He is a 'straight to the point' advisor whose guidance is always succinct and accurately grounded in the law. We have found his immediate responsiveness to be a major asset, especially his rapid response to potential risks, which has led to safe and protected outcomes for us. Robert provides sound advice with genuine integrity and a compassion for the mission of his clients. He frequently goes beyond the call of duty, and I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone in the Not-For-Profit sector.

Case Studies

Charity Law Advice

Advised on giving through an existing charity or setting up a new one and registering it with the Charity Commission and HMRC.

The matter is of particular interest as it involved an innovative way of avoiding registering a new charity with the Charity Commission and HMRC by creating a subsidiary restricted trust containing the various donors’ requirements and involved the application of charity and canon law in relation to the ultimate beneficiary, The Vatican. Alongside was a commercial sponsorship deal which needed to be kept separate for charity and tax law reasons.
