Tozers LLP Gets Involved in Conference for Charities

Wednesday, 07 October 2009 00:00

Richard King and Martin Laver of the law firm Tozers LLP ran workshops for Devon charities at this year's ninth annual 'Get Involved' conference.

  As head of the Tozers' charities team, Richard King warned a large group of delegates about further changes under the Companies Act, which came into effect on 1 October 2009 - including the way that companies are set up, the style and content of their constitutions and the forms that have to be sent in. He also spoke about public benefit and the pitfalls of mergers between charities.

Richard, whose charity law master class was packed, said: "We were delighted to sponsor the Involve conference for the second year running as this conference really benefits charities and voluntary groups in Devon."

Employment specialist, Martin Laver gave charities advice on topical employment problems such as employment in a recession, which explored issues around restructuring in a recession.

The lawyers at Tozers are well placed to advise charities of all sizes, given that the legal industry 'bible' - the Legal 500 - which has just been published, has recognised Richard King and his team of experts yet again for their work in this sector.
