CONSULEGIS

What CONSULEGIS does

CONSULEGIS is a Hamburg-headquartered, non-profit professional membership network (legally constituted as a European Economic Interest Grouping, EWIV/EEIG) that connects mid-sized independent law, accounting, and tax firms with corporate in-house counsel across 40+ countries. Founded formally in 1990 from a 1985 informal gathering of lawyers in Hamburg, the organization serves 90+ member firms through a community-led go-to-market model, growing primarily via member referrals, an online application with Advisory Board review, two annual in-person conferences, and 20 practice, sector, and regional groups that host regular online meetings and cross-border referrals.

The core product is the Member Network itself — a curated directory and collaboration forum — supplemented by a Knowledge Hub of member-authored articles and videos, a Next Gen Academy training program for early-career lawyers, and a 2023 strategic partnership with INAA (an international association of independent accounting, tax, advisory, and audit firms covering 140 firms in 50 countries) that extends the network's vertical and geographic reach. Technology is a relatively standard web platform (consulegis.com) using cookies, web beacons, Google Analytics, Mailchimp for newsletters, and Fontventa for site security and performance; there is no proprietary AI, app, or SDK offering.

Revenue is generated entirely through annual membership fees tailored to each firm's size and geographic location (pricing is not publicly disclosed), making the business a recurring, contract-based subscription model with no external funding, no parent company, and no public listing. Governance is provided by an Advisory Board chaired by Leila Saber, with day-to-day operations led by Managing Director Caroline Chetrit, supported by a lean 14-person team.
