royal charter corporations

Advising them requires a very specific blend of legal skills: an ability to assimilate rapidly the implications of the company’s Charter, experience of dealing with the Pricy Council (which still retains a great deal of authority over Royal Charter companies), a detailed knowledge of English company law and history and, often, expertise in charity law.
