Charities & Not for Profit

We act for a wide range of charities (over 450 national and international bodies) as well as for other "third sector" and not-for profit organisations, including educational institutions, research bodies, social housing authorities, professional regulatory bodies, representative associations and other forms of NGO.

Various members of our team are independently recognised as leaders in their field and have many years experience in advising such bodies. They therefore understand the concerns of those directly involved in these organisations and the importance of providing clear, practical and cost-effective advice.

Given the diverse range of activities undertaken by such organisations, we have developed an equally diverse range of legal services to meet their needs.

Top award for leading charity team

Bircham Dyson Bell has been named Charity Advisor of the Year in the prestigious Citywealth Magic Circle Awards.

‘We are delighted our team’s efforts in the third sector have been recognised again – we work very hard to fight the corner for charities, getting involved in every aspect of the industry including helping to shape legislation for the benefit of all.

Our team have had an extremely busy year with a series of high profile cases for new and established clients and we are pleased to receive an award as important as this in acknowledgement of our work.’
