GD Consulting

What GD Consulting does

GD Consulting is a UK-based, founder-led communications and marketing consultancy focused on law firms, professional services firms, and senior business leaders. Operating as GD Publication Relations Ltd. from Cheltenham since 2010 under founder Giselle Daverat, the firm occupies a narrow niche in legal-sector public relations, offering media relations, copywriting, branding, web design, crisis communications, media training, and executive communications support. The firm differentiates on the depth of its relationships with legal-press editors and the journalist community, evidenced by its operation of the Legal PR Network, an informal industry network founded in 2010 that hosts bi-annual gatherings in central London.

The firm's service portfolio is structured around six interconnected modules: core GD Consulting services, law firm branding, copywriting for law firms, the Legal PR Network, communications for leaders, and dedicated legal-sector services. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI tooling, and no disclosed software products; service delivery is human-expertise-led, drawing on a network of talent built over 20 years and individualized client engagements. The tech stack is effectively a website, social media profiles, and standard office tooling.

GD Consulting monetizes through consulting retainers and project-based professional services fees, with tailored pricing structures that are not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, relying on the founder's personal network, the Legal PR Network events, word-of-mouth referrals, and testimonials from named enterprise clients including Stephenson Harwood LLP, Doughty Street Chambers, and Farraline. The firm has 1–10 employees, no external funding, and operates as a privately held UK limited company with no public valuation reference points.
