More informationMore information

With a number of Cardiff-based lawyers who have significant exposure to charities-related work as part of their broader substantive law practices, and also regularly working alongside practitioners from the firm’s standalone sectoral team, which is led from Reading by Ben Brice, Blake Morgan LLP is well-placed to advise a broad spectrum of Wales-based charities and third sector clients. The arrival in October 2022 of litigator Trish D’Souza from Capital Law Limited strengthens the firm’s education credentials in light of her governance, commercial and regulatory expertise for clients in the sector. Public sector head Eve Piffaretti  is also a key member of the team, regularly working with charities who provide care and education services on issues specific to their internal policies and procedures, including advice on safeguarding and the interpretation of policies and procedures in the light of legislative change.
