Our charity solicitors can help your charity or not for profit organisation with its contracts, procurement and intellectual property matters.
At first the 'commercial' nature of these arrangements may seem out of step for charitable or not for profit organisations. However, properly prepared contracts should be seen as an essential foundation which can help you build upon the success of your organisation. In addition to providing an accurate record of the parties' rights and duties, a properly drafted contract should also include some ground rules as to what should happen if things do not go to plan. This might be vital to your charity of not for profit organisation if it does not get what was expected at the outset.
Contractual and other commercial relationships can take many forms for charities and not for profit organisations. These arrangements can often include matters such as:
We can also assist if your organisation wishes to establish a trading subsidiary to support your aims and objectives. Before embarking on such a venture, any charity or not for profit organisation should carefully consider the legal, accounting and taxation issues which it presents.
We have a wealth of experience of advising upon such matters for a wide variety of charitable and not for profit organisations.
