Better Boards is pleased to present "Navigating Not-for-profit and Charity Mergers" in partnership with Rebecca Lambert-Smith, Not-for-profits and Charities Team at Moores.

Join us for a focused, expert-led webinar from Moores on the legal and practical considerations that apply to Not-for-Profit Mergers. Whether you’re exploring your options or ready to make the leap, this panel will unpack the complexities of not-for-profit and charity mergers across areas including governance, property, contracts and employment. You’ll hear actionable insights into:

  • Governance design and board duties in a merged entity

  • Property transfers and lease obligations

  • Contract novation, assignment and risk allocation

  • Employment transitions, redundancies and staff entitlements

Designed for executives, legal teams and board members, this webinar will equip you with the clarity and confidence to identify whether or not to proceed with a merger and implement mergers with confidence and strategic foresight.
