What Considerati does

Considerati is a Dutch-headquartered legal and public affairs consultancy founded in 2009 by Ton Wagemans (CEO) and Bart Schermer, specializing in privacy, AI regulation, and data protection advisory for innovators. The firm operates from three offices in Amsterdam (headquarters), Brussels, and The Hague, employing more than 50 consultants who serve startups, scale-ups, multinationals, governments, and non-profits across Western Europe. Service lines comprise Legal & Compliance (covering GDPR, AI Act, DSA, DMA, DGA, and related regulations), EU Public Affairs, Public Affairs Netherlands (the latter two transferred to Flint Global in 2024), and a Legal & Compliance Training Program of workshops and webinars.

The business model is pure professional services: revenue is generated through hourly billing of consultant time, with monthly invoicing on 14-day payment terms, plus pass-through expenses such as travel, translation, and courier costs. Hourly rates are adjusted annually and the firm retains the contractual right to request advance payment. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, driven by thought leadership publications, webinars, professional networks, and referrals from policy and innovation ecosystems rather than self-service or product-led acquisition. Following the 2024 strategic split, Considerati Legal & Compliance continues independently with stated intent to internationally scale its privacy, AI, and data regulation practice.

Considerati does not sell software or proprietary technology products; the underlying deliverable is expert advisory and training delivered by human consultants. The firm holds no patents, has no APIs or SDKs, and has no disclosed AI/ML product. The competitive position is built on specialized regulatory expertise, accumulated institutional relationships with EU and Dutch policymakers, and a category-specific brand in privacy and public affairs consulting rather than technology assets.
