Political donations law

Starting Area/Sector information

The public policy practice has advised political parties, commercial organisations, individuals and charities on the UK's complex legislation on political donations.

We were closely involved with aspects of the Political Parties and Elections Bill (now an Act), advising on a range of issues.

Key areas of advice include:

  • Corporate requirements, including the requirements of the Companies Act 2006;
  • Provisions in corporate compliance programmes on political involvement; and
  • Engagement by charitable organisations in the political process.
