Churches

We act for both large and small Free Church Trust Corporations and many individual churches and church charities which gives us unique experience and insight into the many legal issues that can face churches and the ways in which these issues can be resolved.

Most churches have charitable status and are subject to regulation by the Charity Commission and are subject to charity law. Our charity practice therefore gives us the expertise and experience to advise charity trustees on their duties and responsibilities and to ensure that what the particular trusts declared in respect of their church are fulfilled and that they comply with their legal duties as trustees.

We are experienced in dealing for churches in all types of property transactions from buying and selling houses to complicated redevelopments of church properties and granting commercial leases of parts of each property.
