Catherine Rustomji

Partner & Head of Charities

Lime Consumer Other

Catherine Rustomji is a partner and head of charities at Shakespeare Martineau. She has over 20 years’ experience advising charities, social enterprises and not for profit organisations.

Catherine is a specialist charities solicitor who advises charities, not for profit organisations, social enterprises and charity trustees. She also advises corporates and individuals wishing to establish charitable foundations. Her particular focus is on constitutional and governance matters including different legal structures and the duties and responsibilities of charity trustees.

She regularly advises on charity registrations, incorporations of existing charities, mergers, the use of commercial subsidiaries including community interest companies and advising on the legal duties and responsibilities of charity trustees.

Legal 500 – ‘Catherine Rustomji is extremely knowledgeable whilst being pragmatic about how to effect legal changes.’

Legal 500 – ‘Catherine Rustomji is incredibly knowledgeable and well connected in the Charity sector. She gives clear, well thought-out advice that is valued and appreciated’.

Chambers – ‘Catherine is a joy to work with – she is personable, patient and very knowledgeable. She also responds very quickly and thoroughly.’

Chambers – ‘A legal doyen of the charity sector, Catherine is approachable and cares deeply about her clients.’

Having specialised in charity law for over 20 years, this area of law continues to develop and evolve meaning it is constantly challenging to keep up to date with latest developments. I particularly enjoy working with different Boards of Trustees, often at times of stress or pressure, and seeing them thrive.
