Harbottle & Lewis LLP

Under the joint leadership of David Scott and Colin Howes, the ‘formidable’ team at Harbottle & Lewis LLP is highly regarded for its advice to corporate foundations, media-related fundraising charities, and subsidised arts organisations on a broad array of matters. The group is well-placed to advise high-net-worth individuals on their personal philanthropy, and often works with the firm’s reputation management group to assist clients facing public scrutiny. Howes and Scott have significant experience in advising charities on corporate, governance and taxation matters, and often act as trustees and board advisers to charities. May Delaney specialises in helping clients and founders to find the appropriate structure for their charitable giving, particularly where there is a US element.
