Institutional-quality thinking. Built for practical in-house use.

Board & Counsel is built on more than 15 years of hands-on legal and governance experience across international, private equity-backed, listed and highly regulated organisations.

Built from General Counsel experience

Its founder is an experienced Group General Counsel who has advised boards, CEOs, CFOs and executive teams on corporate governance, cross-border M&A, restructurings, regulatory compliance, complex commercial matters and legal risk across multiple European jurisdictions.

His career includes extensive work with many of the world’s leading private equity and investment firms, large international and listed companies, and close collaboration with top-tier international law firms on complex corporate, financing and transactional matters.

The recurring lesson was simple: organisations repeatedly spend significant time and external legal fees solving legal and governance challenges that are fundamentally repeatable.

Board & Counsel turns that experience into practical frameworks and implementation tools — giving in-house teams a high-quality starting point instead of a blank page.
