Foundations and Non-profit Organizations

Committed to non-profit organizations and their patrons

We have a team that exclusively advises foundations and non-profit entities (public and private), private clients and companies on their sponsorship, impact investment, corporate patronage and philanthropic activities.

Our advisory services range from the creation of new foundations and non-profit entities, organizational strengthening and restructuring, and project creation in social and cultural arenas, to advising on expanding their activities, the best legal formula for them, and on channeling funds and assets to carry out their non-profit purposes.

We are pioneers in advising on strategic philanthropy to entities developing new social project models, particularly advising investors, entrepreneurs and precursor foundations of social impact investment.

We provide many non-governmental organizations, public-sector entities and foundations with the wide range of legal services they require at regional, national and international level.

• Family agreements: we advise family members on reaching agreements on transferring family legacies. This can include philanthropic projects in the framework of the company, the incorporation of family foundations, wills and personal agreements to protect the philanthropic wealth.
• Impact investment and philanthropy: we advise on the different structures valid in Spain for implementing and developing a philanthropic and impact investment project.
• Non-profit entities: we advise regional, state and international public and private non-profit entities on their day-to-day activities, as well as on business expansion projects and organizational restructuring at home and abroad: incorporating, organizing, and managing the governing bodies of foundations and the delegations of foreign foundations, including handling their secretaryship.
• Due diligence to non-profit entities: we review civil and tax aspects to guarantee the entities’ regulatory compliance and avoid the possible liability of the governing bodies. This review also includes matters such as data protection, transparency obligations and anti-money laundering regulation.
• Advice on tax, employment and commercial matters: we advise on taxation, tax planning and incentives, as well as on contractual law, intellectual property, financing, mergers and restructuring.
• External relations: we help organizations to develop external relations, organize events and create collaboration networks to strengthen their actions.
• Corporate social responsibility (CSR): we advise on CSR and sustainable development.
• Tenders and subsidies: we advise on administrative matters in relation to public tenders and subsidies.
• Training cycles: we provide training to management, heads of philanthropic projects and social entrepreneurs. Through our “Philanthropy in the 21st century” program, we organize cycles of informative sessions on the best practices in impact investment and philanthropy.
