With core charities law expertise, including on governance and constitutional issues, and the ability to leverage full-service competence, Geldards LLP remains a popular choice among many leading Welsh charities to advise across a myriad of commercial, regulatory, transactional and disputes-related work. Team head Harriet Morgan brings 'a calm, friendly nature to proceedings whilst maintaining a professional demeanour', and is particularly accomplished at advising on property matters for clients in the sector, including those in the social housing space. Fluent Welsh speaking senior associate Bethan Walsh provides an 'exceptional client service' to local charities, often in the medium of Welsh, across a range of governance/contractual issues, ongoing operational matters, as well as in relation to mergers. Marie Philippe also continues to grow her practice, having successfully covered Walsh's recent maternity leave, and is appreciated for her 'pragmatic and very useful advice' and her ability to explain matters in a non-legalistic way. Giselle Davies also handles some fee-earning work in her role as a consultant.
