VWV

VWV‘s charity law and governance team carries out a wide range of complex and sensitive work for a diverse portfolio of clients. The practice offers a comprehensive service, advising charity clients on all aspects of their operations, including governance, procurement and regulatory compliance issues, as well as advice on employees, banking, property, and construction mandates. The group specialises in advising faith charities, while also providing advice to charities in the healthcare, arts, and educational sectors. Further work sees the team engage with public sector bodies such as local authorities on charity law and charity trusteeship. The team is led by Laura Chesham, who advises on all aspects of charity, company and trust law, and Shivaji Shiva, who focuses on the creation and dissolution of charities.
