Charitable organizations

Charitable organisations play a crucial role in philanthropic activities and contribute significantly to social welfare. There is an increasing trend among individuals and enterprises to dedicate their time and resources to charitable causes. At Borel & Barbey, we frequently assist in establishing and managing charities or foundations, ensuring they align with our clients’ expectations and meet statutory, regulatory, and governance requirements. We ensure that corporate donations are structured to effectively achieve charitable aims and objectives, including corporate social responsibility goals. Additionally, we provide guidance on inheritance law and relevant tax considerations pertinent to philanthropic endeavours.

Our Firm represents numerous foundations and associations in their interactions with regulatory bodies and authorities, as well as in contentious legal matters.
