Charities		Contacts
No longer just the preserve of the super-rich benefactor charities now play an indispensable role in modern life. They deliver services which were formerly the responsibility of national and local government to a huge range of beneficiaries, and help to fill in the cracks that appear when state funding dries up.   McCormicks works closely with many leading charitable organisations to maximise the impact they make and the value of their assets. The practice’s capabilities and impressive client base in this specialist area has won the firm a substantial reputation in this particular area of law.   A huge range of activities are potentially charitable in nature, and organisations can benefit from the privileges that charitable status can bring. McCormicks advise on constitutional matters including regulatory compliance, opportunities for fundraising, tax issues including achieving tax efficiency and the appointment and role of trustees.
