Oxford & Cambridge Universities

In addition to our Education Law Practice, Stone King is well placed to advise Oxford and Cambridge and their colleges on charity law and regulation.  Following the enactment of the Charities Act 2006, it is expected that the Colleges will need to register with the Charity Commission as charities in the early part of 2008.

We have particular expertise and experience in advising on:

• Dealings with the Charity Commission (one of our partners is a former Charity Commission lawyer);
• Charitable status and registration;
• Duties and responsibilities of charity trustees;
• Royal Charter bodies;
• Governance; 
• Rationalising subsidiary charities;
• Dealing with Permanent Endowment;
• Charity Commission regulation.

If you would like advice on any of these issues please contact Jonathan Burchfield (Oxford) or Robert Meakin (Cambridge).
