Fitzgerald & Law

What Fitzgerald & Law does

Fitzgerald & Law (F&L) is a London-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1992 that specializes in global expansion and international entity management for businesses entering or operating across multiple jurisdictions. The firm's core offerings include international expansion advisory, entity incorporation and management, corporate regulatory and tax compliance, accounting, payroll, HR and benefits administration, employee share incentives, and UK pensions trusteeship and governance. Following its September 2020 acquisition by ZEDRA, F&L operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within ZEDRA's broader corporate services platform, with its standalone website now redirecting to the parent's site. The F&L Financial Services Limited (FLFS) subsidiary handling workplace pensions and employee benefits was explicitly carved out of the ZEDRA transaction and continues as a separate entity.

F&L's go-to-market is a direct, enterprise-focused B2B professional services model — clients engage the firm directly for bespoke, multi-jurisdiction corporate services rather than through self-service or transactional channels. Its primary customer segment is companies expanding internationally that need coordinated entity setup, ongoing regulatory compliance, and operational administration across foreign markets. The firm's value proposition is built on practical, plain-English advisory combined with personal service culture, now extended by ZEDRA's global network and adjacent service lines including fund services, private wealth management, marine and aviation asset administration, and escrow.

The firm employs between 101 and 250 people and serves clients on a global basis through ZEDRA's international footprint. Revenue mechanics, pricing models, and per-engagement economics are not publicly disclosed, consistent with a bespoke professional services model. The horizontal segmentation approach — targeting any company with cross-border expansion needs — is enabled by the ZEDRA platform's broad service catalog spanning corporate, fund, and private client service lines.
