Merging and partnering with other organizations
Mergers can be an excellent way for charities and non-profits to serve their mission better, but they need careful consideration. Our team has acted in some of the largest mergers in the past decade and can advise on options and any further implications.
To increase the impact you have, you might decide that a merger is the most effective route to take.
A merger is likely to boost your scale and ability to serve your beneficiaries, but you need to get it right. We have advised on many of the largest mergers that have taken place in the sector in the last decade, including:- Merger of Independent Age and Counsel and Care the Elderly and UBS
- Self Help Africa and Africa Now
- Employment Opportunities for People with Disabilities and The Shaw Trust
- Age Concern and Help the Aged
- Macmillan Cancer Support and Cancerbackup
