Faith Organization

We have built a reputation over many years as a leading firm advising the full spectrum of faith organisations. We have significant experience in the issues that affect faith clients of all denominations as they seek to fulfil their mission within the sometimes difficult constraints of civil law and regulation, in particular charity and education law. We understand the need to provide advice and solutions to legal problems in a way that is consistent with your mission and the ethos of your faith.

Our clients include organisations from across the Christian denominations (including Roman Catholic, Church of England, Methodist, Evangelical and other Independent Churches) and organisations that are inspired by the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist faiths (as well as many others). We also advise bodies operating Faith Schools, or involved in the oversight of Faith Schools.

Most importantly we recognise the need to provide advice that is sympathetic to the particular religious context and ethos, including especially the interplay of civil law with relevant religious rules and ecclesiastical laws

We are actively involved in discussing, at a national level, issues that are relevant to faith bodies.  For example, through our engagement with bodies like the Charity Law Association, the Ecclesiastical Law Association, the Law Commission and the Churches Legislation Advisory Service.
