Irwin Mitchell LLP

William Scott writes:
I have acted for many almshouses over the years advising on all manner of property related disputes including noise nuisance, anti-social behaviour issues, hoarding and termination of appointments and rights of occupation.
I have a background in advising charity trustees in relation to their fiduciary duties and their obligations under the Charities Act when dealing with property, having specialised in advising charities in relation to their property for the last 15 years.
I work with my colleagues in the public and regulatory teams to provide holistic advice to ensure compliance by the trustees and managers with the occupiers’ rights under the Care Act and Equality Act.
I also provide advice on property strategy and how to manage the almshouses in a cost-effective manner, taking into account the charities objectives and the organisations ESG agenda.
