Rosamund McCarthy

Rosamund McCarthy is a partner at Bates, Wells and Braithwaite where she specalises in charity law. Her areas of expertise include governance reviews, trading subsidiaries, fundraising agreements and sponsorships, cause-related marketing, face-to-face, lotteries and mergers.

She has a particular interest in campaigning and was a member of the 2007 Advisory Group on Campaigning and the Voluntary Sector chaired by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, which recommended amendments to the Charity Commission’s guidance on campaigning to make it clearer that charities can engage in political campaigning provided it is not party political.

Rosamund was founder and first chair of Poet in the City; secretary to the committee, Penalty for Homicide, a Fellow of the RSA; a trsutee of Free Word and the Small Charities Coalition.

McCarthy co-authored the Fundraiser’s Guide to the Law and contributed to Jordans' Charities Administration Manual.

The 2011 edition of Chambers UK said this: "Sources say: 'She is an excellent lawyer, with a sound technical brain, and is rigourous in her approach'."

She is engaged to NCVO chief executive Sir Stuart Etherington.
