Not-for-profit

Our work in this sector is an integral part of who we are, helping to build successful organisations and in turn, stronger communities. We help to lift the burden of regulatory compliance, governance and capacity issues so that our clients can focus on what they do best – helping others.

We have extensive experience partnering with clients in the not-for-profit and charity sector spanning health, education, arts and culture, family and community services, community and affordable housing, indigenous affairs, and aged care.

As a leading national adviser to the social infrastructure industry across a range of legal matters, we are recognised as acting for the industry as well as being a part of it.

Our work includes legal and tax structuring, risk assessment, governance advice and legal compliance for the full range of all activities undertaken in the not-for-profit sector.

We are known for our expertise in establishing compliant charitable trusts, regulatory advice for not-for-profit providers of aged care and retirement living, governance instruction, and advising on affordable housing including the structuring of arrangements under the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS).

Additionally our experience includes probity, charitable fundraising endorsement and compliance and the establishment of public and private philanthropic funds.

We take our commitment to this sector seriously and apply the same level of care, expertise and enthusiasm to our work in this area as we do for commercial clients.
