Senior associate
Senior associate in the governance, funding and corporate team
My role
I am a senior associate in the governance, funding and corporate team. I advise a wide range of charities on all aspects of charity law, including governance matters, restructuring, mergers and trustee roles and responsibilities. I also advise on a wide range of issues that charities may face, including property trusts, contracts, trustee payments and regulatory compliance. In addition, I advise multi-academy trusts on a range of governance matters, including academy conversions and transfers of single academy trusts into multi-academy trusts.
My experience
With over 13 years experience advising charities, I have helped charities form, restructure merge and have advised on a wide range of issues, including submissions to the Charity Commission and other regulatory compliance. I have worked with a number of multi-academy trusts assisting them with governance matters and academy conversions.
