Konexo - Corporate Secretarial Services Business

What Konexo - Corporate Secretarial Services Business does

Konexo is the alternative legal and consulting services business unit of global law firm Eversheds Sutherland, established as a dedicated NewLaw platform and headquartered in London with offices in Dubai, Atlanta, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Per company history, Konexo was developed in 2020 and has held Chambers and Partners Band 1 ranking in the Alternative Legal Service Provider NewLaw Guide since inception; it won both the 2023 British Legal Awards for Alternative Legal Services Provider of the Year and Future of Legal Services Innovation of the Year. The offering consists of four service lines — Data and Cyber Consulting, Legal Services (including e-discovery and contract review), Interim Resourcing, and Legal Team Consulting — plus a productized technology suite branded Konexo Products that includes Microsoft-developed legal tech and AI tools aimed at in-house legal teams. The underlying platform is positioned as an industrialized legal services delivery system that uses AI and advanced technology to automate data-driven, repetitive work and free in-house teams to focus on strategic matters.

Konexo serves enterprise in-house functions across four primary buyer segments: legal teams (contract review, e-discovery, legal operations), compliance teams (regulatory monitoring, AML, financial crime), financial crime teams, and — to a lesser extent — HR teams requiring project support. Customer evidence is limited but skews enterprise; the only disclosed named client is a Global Financial Institution. Revenue is generated through managed services contracts (recurring, technology-enabled legal and compliance support), interim resourcing (temporary legal and compliance professionals), project support and consulting, and specialized data/cyber consulting engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a professional services model. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales leveraging the Eversheds Sutherland global network, with relationship-led engagement across UK, Middle East, US, and Asia offices and limited public marketing outside LinkedIn presence and thought-leadership content (Konexo Insights).
