- Joint Ventures between not-for-profit organisations
- Funding and finance

We can undertake a review of your organisation’s structure and procedures to ensure you are meeting current legal requirements. We can also assist you on an ongoing basis - advising on constitutional issues, contracts and more specialist issues such as mergers and the formation and management of joint ventures (e.g. between local authorities and voluntary organisations).
