📅 22 April | 📍 Stricklandgate House, Kendal LA9 4PU | 5:30–7:00pm
Strong governance and a clear understanding of legal responsibilities are essential for any social enterprise — but they’re often only revisited when problems arise.
Join us in person at Stricklandgate House, Kendal, for a practical session with Laura Moss (Partner, Wrigleys Solicitors), designed to help you stay ahead of common legal risks and challenges.
Drawing on real examples from the sector, the session will cover:
- Directors’ and trustees’ duties in practice
- Key elements of company and contract law
- Common pitfalls such as conflicts of interest, outdated governing documents, and contractual issues
- How legal issues can impact day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability
The session will also include a case study discussion and open Q&A, giving you the opportunity to explore issues relevant to your organisation.
You’ll leave with greater confidence in your governance arrangements, a clearer understanding of your legal responsibilities, and when to seek professional advice to keep your organisation fit for the future.
