FSI is proud of its long history of advising charity clients in relation to legacy income, both in contentious and non-contentious matters. Over the last few years, we have forged relationships with many charities, including ILM members. We are therefore delighted to support ILM as a corporate partner, and we look forward to strengthening our existing relationships and building new ones in the sector, supporting our clients in this valuable area of work.
