Governance and risk management

Someone misbehaving on your committee of management?
How long since the constitution was properly reviewed?
Do your Board members need training in their duties as directors?

Lots of community service organisations get into strife over issues of governance and the way that things are done on the board or in the management committee. This is partly because the job of running a community organisation is becoming increasingly complex. Often, the way to make it all a lot more complex is to bring in a lawyer.
In addition to being a highly capable lawyer, Community Link director Mandy Doon is a clear communicator and down-to-earth problem solver. Mandy has many years experience in assisting community organisations to tackle legal issues, especially those related to –

• Incorporation
  
• Duties of not-for-profit directors
  
• Contractual arrangements with funding agencies
  
• Risk management
  
• Duty of care
  
• Commercial leasing
  
• Residential tenancy
  

Our legal services focus on assisting management committees to understand their legal obligations and improving corporate governance in community sector organisations.
