About this Event
Charities and social enterprises across the UK are doing extraordinary work, now more than ever, but they can find it impossible to access legal advice to help navigate operational complexities.
Our Pro Bono Legal Clinic, with Latham & Watkins and Goldman Sachs, offers social enterprises and charities free face-to-face access to experienced legal professionals who can help turn good ideas into sustainable, confident action. From setting up new initiatives to strengthening compliance, governance, contracts, and decision‑making, we help organisations reduce uncertainty, protect their mission, and make the most of their time and resources so leaders can focus on impact, not paperwork.
Practical support at the right moment can unlock growth, stability, and peace of mind. By working in discussion with you and your team, the clinic can help you:
- identify legal threats in a new initiative you have planned,
- understand any compliance issues you might be facing in relation to your corporate structure,
- assess whether your contracts with third parties are working against you,
- get to grips with financial regulations and how these might impact your current funding or funding plans,
- identify how your employment or data protection policies could be improved,
- understand how any upcoming changes in law might impact your work,
- assess how the law might otherwise support your work, and
- answer any other relevant legal questions you might have.
This can help you avoid common pitfalls, plan ahead with confidence, and operate more efficiently and transparently. Whether you’re a new social enterprise or a growing nonprofit, our pro bono support is designed to empower your organisation, strengthen stakeholder trust, and help you deliver lasting benefit to the communities you serve.
Deadline: Applications will close at 17:00 on Friday 8 May, but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis before this date.
This is a free event, and a light lunch will be provided.
