"Thank you very much for kindly inviting both myself and my wife to this seminar. It was truly excellent; meeting both our hopes and our needs. Please will you pass on our appreciation and our thanks to your colleagues at Tozers and also to those at Brewin Dolphin."
David Gollin, teasurer of Blackdown Support Group comments on our Charity Trustee Seminar, hosted alongisde Brewin Dolphin
"This "amenable, accurate and approachable" team leaves clients with "a favourable impression; it always provides clear and constructive advice that gets straight to the point." Sources say the team is good to turn to "when you have a sticky problem." Its work over the last year has covered the establishment, restructuring, mergers and dissolution of charitable and non-profit organisations. The group also regularly works in conjunction with the firm's employment lawyers to advise on matters such as the dismissal of a charity fund-raising manager. Clients include Plymouth Diocesan Trust, Buckfast Abbey Trust, Devon Wildlife Trust and South West Adult Placement Scheme.
Clients appreciate team head Richard King's "good understanding of the complexities of how charities operate." His expertise covers property and trusts and he regularly handles work on behalf of charities and schools on a local, regional and national basis."

"I have nothing but praise for all the contacts we have had with Tozers. They have always been prompt in their response and treated our enquiries with respect and seriously. I would trust their judgement implicitly in all matters especially in relation to charity law and this has been backed up by Tozers' involvement in a conference attended where Richard King was a key speaker and clearly had the well-deserved respect and recognition of his peers as well as us as long standing clients."
