Kenneth Pinkerton

Join us for an in-person seminar where Kenneth Pinkerton, a partner at Brodies and specialist in charity law and governance and partner in our charities and third sector team, will be joined by Euan MacDonald, an Investment Director at Rathbones, and Graeme Penman, an Audit Partner at AAB, to provide expert guidance on the critical updates shaping the sector in 2026.

In this session, Stone King will take a look at the ongoing implementation of the Charities Act 2022, which simplifies charity governance, land transactions, and endowment rules, aiming to reduce administrative burdens. We will also cover the new Fundraising Code, effective from 1 November 2025, and proposed changes to charity tax compliance, with new rules to be considered. This session is free.

This is the third part of a series of five blogs that outlines the charity merger process – before, during and after the negotiation and signing of the asset transfer agreement. In this part 3 of the series, we focus on what is needed to implement the transfer, including obtaining any consents required and the preparation of the transfer documentation – that is, the asset transfer agreement ("Transfer Agreement") and the accompanying ancillary documentation.
