Civil & Religious Institutions
The constituent firms which form Pothecary Witham Weld have played an integral role in the civil law formation of many ecclesiastical and related institutions, in particular, setting up charities and, today, continues to provide advice to religious and secular organisations in wide ranging areas.
Organisations such as schools, hospitals, religious and other institutions have their own special needs for legal advice and assistance. Many have undergone or are facing important changes in the way they are run, some taking direct responsibility for management of their own affairs for the first time. Change brings new opportunities and new problems.
Pothecary Witham Weld has enormous experience in providing specialist advice to religious and civil institutions. Listed below are examples of some of the areas where organisations can turn to us for legal assistance:
- Amalgamations and Closures
- Charity Creation and Amendment
