Richard King, who has been a partner since 1983, is a commercial property and trusts lawyer, well known for his expertise in the field of charity law.  A member of the Charity Law Association and contributor to its working parties, he advises all types of religious, educational, disability and other charities, both local, regional and national, and he acts for a number of schools. He is a trustee of the national charity Catholic Trust for England & Wales and governor of an independent school.

As well as creating or reconstituting a number of charities, Richard's recent deals include negotiating overage clauses on sales of developable land, a charity merger and the transfer of the business and intellectual property of a well-known designer.

With his wife, Richard is much involved in work with children and adults with disabilities (he was until recently a trustee of an international charity, HCPT), as well as in church music and family history.  He somehow finds time to play ‘geriatric' cricket, and walking a spirited dog keeps him on the go the rest of the time.

Richard has been recognised as an expert in his field for many years and is the only solicitor in Exeter listed in the Legal Experts 2011 directory for charities, and is one of only two acknowledged charity experts south west of Bristol, according to the 2011 directory.
