Legal clarity for organisations doing good
Charities and social enterprises operate in a uniquely complex legal environment — balancing public trust, regulatory scrutiny, and limited resources. Shoosmiths’ specialist team supports purpose-driven organisations with clear, cost-effective legal advice that enables them to focus on what matters: delivering impact.
We advise on charity law, governance, and regulation, as well as real estate, commercial, employment, IP, data protection, and health and safety matters. Our clients range from grassroots charities to global foundations and social enterprises. We understand the pressures of doing more with less — and we help clients navigate risk, protect their reputation, and unlock new opportunities.
Our team also supports businesses looking to embed purpose through charitable foundations or ESG-aligned initiatives. And beyond legal advice, we actively convene cross-sector collaboration to drive innovation and shared value.
Whether you’re responding to regulatory change, managing risk, or scaling your impact, we’re here to help you succeed.
