What the Team is Known For
Strengths
Hempsons are responsive, knowledgeable and approachable. They proactively case manage ongoing matters to ensure that the client is always updated in a timely fashion.
Hempsons was very responsive when we needed them, helpful, commercial, and practical.
Hempsons are experts in health and social care thereby providing a unique and rounded valuable service under one roof. They provide an exceptional high quality service that is hard to match elsewhere.
We have worked with Hempsons for many years, and they understand our organisation and culture very well.
As other legal firms are moving away from the Charity Sector it is great to see Hempsons continuing to invest in its Charity client portfolio and the team that serves them.
Work Highlights
Hempsons acted for the health and social care charity Change, Grow, Live in relation to an update of its articles of association.
Notable practitioners
Stephen O'Reilly is the newly appointed head of charities and social enterprise team at Hempsons. He has both national and international charity clients and can advise them on a range of aspects of charity law, such as governance reviews.
I think Stephen has excellent judgment and is great with clients.
I've known Stephen for a long time and we have developed a very productive professional relationship over the years - therefore trust is high.
He was helping at the last minute, very helpful to us, got up to speed quickly and was very supportive.
Stephen is sensible, practical, and he gets it. He makes an effort to understand what you want to do and why and you get the appropriate risks brought to your attention.
Stephen understands our organisation and the world in which we operate very well.
