Charities Legal Advice:

A Charity may be considered a business that carries out a Charitable Purpose. Like a business, Charities must be structured to ensure compliance with the relevant rules and regulations.

Generally, a Charitable Purpose may fall under four categories:

1. The advancement of Education;
2. The advancement of Religion;
3. The relief of Financial Hardship; and
4. Other Charitable Purposes to benefit the Community.

Charities may be complex and difficult to understand as there may be several rules and regulations that govern the set-up of a Charity, how to conduct business and management of the Charity, Contracts, Advertisement of the Charity and Registration of the Charity, amongst others.

At Navado, our team of Charities Lawyers have advised and assisted many clients with the set-up, registration and management of Charities.  If you are looking to set up a Charity, it is important to speak with a Charities Lawyer to ensure that you understand the requirements that must be fulfilled when managing a Charity.

Furthermore, if you work for a Charity, volunteer for a Charity or you are a member of the community and you have had a dispute or are concerned about an existing Charity, including but not limited to the charitable purpose, employment contracts, volunteer contracts, the set up of a Charity or the Charity’s compliance with Legislation, we can assist you.
