As people with significant personal wealth get older and start to think about their legacies, as well as taking care of their own families, it appears that many look to provide assistance to those less well-off. One of the ways that those with substantial wealth look to do this is through the setting up of a charity, either via their will on death, or during their lifetime.

In July 2024, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (“EHRC”) published guidance for the higher education sector in relation to the outcome of University of Bristol v Abrahart.

Our Southampton corporate team led by James Hawkeswood, has advised Utilita Energy, the UK’s leading pay-as-you-go energy supplier, on a significant new agreement with EDF. James Hawkeswood said: “I’m delighted to have acted for Utilita Energy in relation to the negotiation of this important new trading arrangement. It marks the culmination of over six months’ strategic and legal planning which has seen (amongst other things): a wholesale restructuring of the wider group (now branded ‘Luxion’); a management buy-out; and the creation of an employee benefit trust." https://ow.ly/ak3050T7BxL #Energy #Corporate #Deal #Restructuring

The distinction between tax avoidance and tax evasion is becoming increasingly blurred raising the risk of penalties for perfectly legal activities.

Julia Rosenbloom discusses further in our latest tax blog. #Tax #Labour #BusinessRelief #TaxRelief #TaxReview

A person’s disappearance will naturally cause a great deal of distress to their family and loved ones. However, this can be exacerbated if nobody has the authority to deal with the missing person’s property and financial affairs, which may go unmanaged for up to seven years.
