Stone King has a recognised expertise in workingwith charities, educational institutions and socialenterprises. We are recognised by the ChambersGuide to the Legal Profession 2013 as beingamongst the top charity law firms nationally, with“a commitment to the third sector … at the verycore of Stone King”.

We understand the need for charities to be able to show to

external regulatory authorities that they comply with the

highest standards required of public and charitable bodies

and that they are fully accountable for the use of public and

tax relieved funds. We also understand the need for

organisations to obtain proper value for money and to

operate on sound commercial principles in order

to secure this.

While our firm is not large approximately half of the firm's

turnover is attributable to our work with charities and

educational institutions, withover 30 lawyers dedicated

exclusively to acting for charities and educational institutions.

We have offices in London, Bath and Cambridge. We serve the

charity sector on a national basis through our three offices and

also by modern communications technology. We are also

happy to meet our clients at their offices if this is more

convenient.

Our Charity & Social Enterprise team is recognised as one of

the leading such practices in the UK. We act for over 189 of the

country’s leading charities and other not-for-profit

organisations with varied activities ranging across a broad

spectrum. As a result of this diversity, we have developed a

depth and breadth of knowledge and experience of the legal

problems encountered by charities and their trustees, as well

as practical solutions to those problems.

Our team is one of the largest such teams in the country. We

provide advice on a broad range of legal and practical issues

affecting charities and other not-for-profit organisations,

including:

� creation of new charities: we typically deal with the creation

of over 60 new charities every year. We have a detailed

understanding of the post-registration demands on

charities and their trustees and are able to use this

knowledge to anticipate potential issues at an early stage,

thereby hopefully avoiding problems later on;

� grant and funding issues: including the receipt and

management of public funding and preparation of grant

policies, programmes and agreements;

� academies;

� constitutional and governance issues;

� international, cross-border issues;

� dealings with the Charity Commission on constitutional,

regulatory and governance issues;

� acquisition, management and disposals of property;

� mergers;

� investment powers; and

� employment matters. �
