Consilium Counsel is the platform promoting and managing market interface and administrative services and support for the counsel practice, counsel work, and broader consulting services undertaken from time to time on Consilium Counsel mandates by Consilium Counsel Panel members or consulting services by Consilium Counsel Consulting.                                                             

                                 Our Consilium Counsel Panel members act as independent counsel on matters (including transactions and potential disputes) referred by lawyers and firms faced with conflicts of interest involving their clients. Examples of situations giving rise to real, potential or apparent conflicts may include transactions or negotiations where the interests of multiple parties represented by a lawyer or law firm are neither the same nor completely aligned or situations where the lawyer or law firm represents both the business and the owners.  Where owners, shareholders or partners comprise both those active in the business decision-making and those who do not participate in management decision-making or those with controlling positions or those with minority or non-controlling positions, consideration may also be had to engage independent counsel.  

                                Business lawyers or law firms may also call upon Consilium Counsel to assist on matters where their clients would benefit by engaging its panel members to join, and work together with them on such matters or to assist them on an interim basis to fill gaps arising temporarily or unexpectedly in their business law practices.

                                While Consilium Counsel’s primary target market comprises lawyers and law firms, our mandates may additionally derive directly from other clients in need of counsel in matters where our experience and network will provide value. 

                                Our Consilium Counsel Panel comprises five core members, all like-minded, seasoned lawyers with similar or complementary knowledge, capabilities, and experience (see bios on Our Team page). They are complemented by several additional specialized lawyers and collaborate regularly with them. This is done with an eye to the long-term sustainability of the service offering to clients. Consilium Counsel shall ensure that our approach to service and the quality of our advice and counsel provided to clients remain consistent, reliable, and effective at all times.                               

                                Where needed and appropriate to execute our mandates Consilium Counsel Panel members may engage subject-matter experts, lawyers or other professionals or legal support, drawing, where required, technical expertise from sectoral or industry specialists or lawyers and legal support providers. This is done in consultation with our clients.

                                Consilium Counsel participates in Consilium Juris (see page).

                                The scope and nature of counsel services to be provided by Consilium Counsel Panel members and related fee and expense arrangements are agreed and described in the retainer agreement between the Consilium Counsel Panel members retained on particular matters and the client(s).
