**The latest guide to charity law from the specialist charity law team at Bates 
Wells.**

This new volume contains expert commentary and analysis of:

 * The Charities Act 1992
 * The Charities Act 2011
 * The Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016

According to its publishers, “the Handbook is an indispensable reference for lawyers,
accountants, trustees and all those involved in the running and management of charities.”

It features the full texts of the Acts, copies of relevant statutory instruments
and signposts to possible future areas for reform.

For those who have found Stephen Lloyd’s _Charities: The New Law_ an essential companion,
this is the updated version – published with the benefit of eight years’ experience
of how the law has been interpreted and applied in practice. Of particular use will
be the detailed chapter on the new legal form for charities, the **Charitable Incorporated
Organisation**, and a new chapter on exempt charities.
