Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP

A broad spectrum of third sector clients, ranging from from local and national cause charities, to education institutions (including several Oxford and Cambridge colleges), look to Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP for advice on governance, trustees, fundraising, and dealings with the Charity Commission. After joining from HCR Hewitsons in September 2024, Virginia Henley co-leads the department with ‘outstanding lawyer and tactician’ Hilary Aldred, who has a particularly strong knowledge of the education sector. In IP matters for charity clients, Rachel Bradley is the name to note, and Sophie Whitbread and Saffa Mir are further key contacts.
