Anthony Collins—Edwina Turner

Charity law specialist joins partnership as part of 13-strong promotional round

Anthony Collins has promoted charity law expert Edwina Turner to the partnership, strengthening its governance and charities offering. Turner advises national and international charities, with a particular focus on religious organisations, and specialises in restructures, mergers and governance matters. She also acts as an interim manager for the Charity Commission and plays a leading role in the firm’s trainee solicitor development programme.

Turner’s promotion reinforces the firm’s reputation in the charities sector, where she works closely with boards and senior leadership teams to guide organisations through periods of change. Anthony Collins also announced 12 further promotions across its Birmingham and Manchester offices, including appointments to legal director, senior associate, associate and executive caseworker roles.

Turner said: ‘Being promoted to the Anthony Collins partnership is a recognition of our charity work being at the heart of the firm.’ She added: ‘The firm’s social purpose ethos shines through in the work we deliver for our clients, and I am proud to be part of the high-performing charities sector team.’

Matthew Wort, senior partner, said: ‘Promoting our people is a mark of our ongoing success and our commitment to delivering excellent client service now and in the future.’ He added that investing in employees helps them ‘build successful careers’ while supporting ‘sustainable growth’.
