Although the team was weakened by the recent departures of both Trish D’Souza and Nicola Mead-Batten to Blake Morgan LLP and TLT, respectively, Capital Law Limited still maintains a not insignificant presence in the charities/not-for-profit sector. A significant amount of this work relates to employment advice to healthcare clients, with senior associate Jonathan Walsh regularly acting for core firmwide client, the British Medical Association, both in terms of individual member disputes but also in respect of national issues affecting the nation’s doctors. Stuart Pearson and Leanne O’Brien also frequently handle construction and real estate-related advice to further education providers.
