Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Law

Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Law

Our Non-Government Organisation (NGO) Law services are specifically designed to support charitable organizations, foundations, and other non-profits in achieving their missions within a sound legal framework. Understanding the unique regulatory and operational needs of NGOs, we offer tailored legal solutions that enable compliance, transparency, and effective governance.

NGO Registration and Incorporation

We guide clients through the complex process of registering and incorporating NGOs, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements and securing proper legal status for operations. This includes preparing and filing necessary documents, drafting organizational bylaws, and structuring governance policies.

Compliance and Regulatory Advice

NGOs must adhere to a range of regulatory requirements. We help clients understand and maintain compliance with relevant laws, including annual filings, financial disclosures, and tax regulations, to avoid penalties and sustain donor confidence

Drafting and Reviewing Policies

Clear and well-structured policies are essential for effective NGO governance. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and updating policies related to operations, ethics, conflict of interest, anti-corruption, and more, fostering a transparent and accountable organizational culture.

Funding and Grant Agreements

Non-profits often rely on grants and donations, which come with specific legal obligations. We help NGOs navigate funding agreements, ensuring terms are fair, legally binding, and aligned with their mission. Our services protect NGOs from potential risks while supporting their ability to secure critical funding.

Employment and Volunteer Agreements

We provide guidance on employment law specific to the non-profit sector, helping NGOs draft clear employment contracts and volunteer agreements. This includes compliance with labor laws and ensuring that all personnel-related policies meet legal standards

Tax-Exempt Status and Charitable Status

NGOs often seek tax-exempt status to maximize their resources. We assist with applications for tax exemptions and charitable status, working with authorities to ensure NGOs receive the benefits for which they are eligible.

Advocacy and Public Interest Law

NGOs engaged in advocacy work often face unique legal challenges. We offer legal support for public interest initiatives, guiding organizations through issues related to free speech, lobbying, and compliance with advocacy-related regulations.
