Webinar: Charity legal structures

Charity legal structures: origins and development – why this matters now

Will Hopkin explores how companies limited by guarantee, unincorporated associations, trusts and other structures came to be used by charities, and how the Commission and the Courts have accommodated innovation and change. At the same time, he addresses how historical developments have shaped present practice and future opportunities in respect of charitable legal forms. This is Part II of Will’s ‘History of Charity Law’ webinar series. 

Will is a leading charities barrister, and an entertaining speaker. Part I of the History of Charity Law (starting with the emergence of charity law in the early modern period) was a popular webinar delivered in March 2022.
