Anderson Strathern
“Anderson Strathern is delighted to assist SCVO with its free legal advice service for third sector groups. Charities and other not-for-profit organisations are trying to do so much but often with incredibly tight budgets. And there are no two ways about it – legal fees can be extremely high and, at times, small groups just cannot stretch to this. It is fantastic that there is a service which gives third sector bodies access to the help they need (which is often just a bit of a steer) without their having to be concerned about the impact of this on their budgets. And for us, as solicitors, we feel that we can give something back whilst also keeping on top of areas of greatest concern in Scotland’s third sector.”
