Legal Support for Purpose-driven Organizations

Broadfield advises charities, foundations, NGOs, and social enterprises on legal structures, governance, compliance, and mission-driven strategies. Our team combines extensive sector knowledge with practical legal expertise to help clients achieve impact while navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and funding landscape.

Our clients include charities, family foundations, philanthropic platforms, corporate foundations, family offices, and public-private partnerships. We work with founders, boards, and leadership teams, helping them with a wide range of structuring, governance, and regulatory issues internationally.

We advise philanthropists and organizations supported by ultra-high-net-worth philanthropy on their programmatic and social investments, including helping them with jurisdictional analysis for their charitable vehicles and collaborating to improve their governance systems and legal frameworks.
