Charities and For-Purpose
We’re proud to support the people doing meaningful mahi in our communities. We have longstanding relationships with many Taranaki-based and national charitable organisations, community trusts, sports clubs, social enterprises and iwi entities providing legal support that is strategic, efficient and grounded in purpose.
Many of our team are personally involved with charitable organisations in the region; serving with purpose as trustees, committee members, honorary legal advisers or volunteers. We understand what your challenges are and bring pragmatism and lived experience to our legal advice.
Let’s work together to support the work you do.
We're specialists in...
Setting up a new charity, society or for-purpose entity? We guide you through structure selection, Charities Services registration, and drafting constitutions or trust deeds that align with your kaupapa.
We advise trustees, boards and senior leadership on governance responsibilities, constitutional reform, and ongoing legal compliance with the Charities Act 2005, Charitable Trusts Act 1957 and Incorporated Societies Act 2022.
From grants and donations to trading subsidiaries and social enterprise ventures, we help ensure your funding and commercial arrangements are legally robust and mission-aligned.
When change is on the horizon, we support you through strategic collaborations, asset transfers, wind-ups or de-registrations to minimise risk and preserve purpose.
