Who We Are

AL Philanthropies, formerly the Law Family Charitable Foundation, was founded by Andrew Law in 2011 with the goal of addressing the root causes of disadvantage and increasing opportunities, empowering individuals and communities across the United Kingdom.

Over the years, Andrew has retained focus on this mission, personally enabling and supporting programs that have fostered meaningful change nationwide — from sponsoring the Laurus Trust, to serving as chair and principal sponsor of Speakers for Schools.

Today, AL Philanthropies takes on a stronger, more purposeful role — both broadening its reach and strengthening its impact, thus creating a platform for sustained change. In the tradition of philanthropy that has shaped societies for generations, ALP is committed not only to supporting the right initiatives, but also to empower networks that encourage others to give back, championing measurable outcomes, and inspiring wider participation in meaningful causes.

Andrew Law is the Chairman and CEO of Caxton Associates, a global macro hedge fund founded in New York City in 1983. He attended state school in Manchester, then went on to graduate with First Class Honours in Economics from the University of Sheffield. Previously with Goldman Sachs, Andrew joined Caxton’s London office in 2003, became Global Chief Investment Officer in 2008, and was appointed to his current role in January 2012.

Alongside his professional career, Andrew is Chairman and principal sponsor of Speakers for Schools and, through the Law Family Education Trust, the sponsor of The Laurus Trust, a Manchester-based Multi Academy Trust with 16 schools.
