Solicitors Advising Air Ambulance Charities

We are recognised as one of the most established and experienced teams advising charities in the South East of England and are one of very few specialist teams nationally based outside of London.

Looking for expert legal advice?

Our team is highly experienced in acting for national and local charities, including a growing number of air ambulance charities.

We were delighted to be the only law firm exhibiting at the Air Ambulances UK Annual Conference and Awards in 2024 and regularly attend and support sector-focused events and webinars. 

We continue to be recommended for 'Charities and Not-for-Profit' in The Legal 500 and have previously been recognised in Chambers UK Guide. Our expertise across many other areas of law is also acknowledged in both guides.

If you are a trustee or part of the management team at an air ambulance charity and are seeking legal advice from a firm of solicitors with significant experience in this area, please get in touch to find out how we can help.

Working With our Leading Team of Charity Law & Education Solicitors

Because we have been acting for charities and not for profit organisations for many decades, we have an in-depth and hands-on understanding of the charity sector and the challenges and issues that you may be faced with.

This includes working with regulators and bodies such as The Charity Commission.
