Charity Law and Trusts
Charity Law better describes the target group of clients than a legal discipline in the Nordic countries.
Working with Charity Law means to work with trust law, law of private organisations, corporate law, trade mark law, contract law, law of public financial support to charities and tax law.
Our clients are private or public charity and/or non-for-profit institutions. We are also counselling commercial clients in their cooperation with charity partners in contracts about sponsoring, marketing and joint ventures.
Securing and commercial use of non-for-profit brands has an increasing interest and value in the CSR strategy of commercial partners.
