Commercial law firm Hill Dickinson has advised The Fremantle Trust, a residential care charity for older people, on its merger with The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT).
The Fremantle Trust is a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation that provides care and support services to more than 1100 older people and adults with learning disabilities across multiple facilities, including 11 care homes.
Partner Sandip Khroud, senior associate Jessica Roberts and associate Sullen De Lima Silva of Hill Dickinson’s Corporate team in Leeds, led on the provision of legal advice.
The merger of these two not-for-profit care trusts will help create a stronger organisation overall in the social care market, enabling the sharing of resources that will ultimately enhance service delivery and benefit all service users. It’s always a pleasure to work with clients on projects that aim to help the most vulnerable sections of our society and we wish the enlarged entity every success.Sandip Khroud
