A global network connecting lawyers and accountants worldwide

International legal and financial matters have become part of everyday reality.

Companies expand beyond borders, investments are structured across jurisdictions, families relocate, and regulatory environments continue to evolve.

In this context, one question consistently arises:

=> How can individuals and businesses identify reliable legal and accounting professionals abroad?

This challenge is precisely what led to the creation of International Group of Accountants and Lawyers (IGAL), an international network built to connect trusted lawyers and accountants who operate at the highest professional standards in their respective jurisdictions.

I – Navigating international complexity -> a matter of trust

Working with a professional advisor in a foreign jurisdiction involves far more than technical expertise.

It requires confidence in the advisor’s ability to understand local law while anticipating international consequences.

In practice, cross-border matters often involve:

• divergent legal and tax systems,

• unfamiliar professional cultures,

• language barriers,

• and limited visibility into actual experience.

Despite these risks, many decisions are still based on informal recommendations or online searches, offering little assurance of quality or consistency.

IGAL was established to respond to this reality by offering a structured, reliable and internationally recognised network of professionals.

II – IGAL: a network built on professional excellence

IGAL is not a directory, nor a marketing platform.

It is a community of carefully selected lawyers and accountants, connected by a shared commitment to professional integrity, expertise and international cooperation.

The network is founded on three guiding principles:

• Selective membership

• Peer recognition

• Cross-border collaboration

Each member is chosen for their proven experience, professional reputation and ability to operate effectively in international matters.

III – Legal and accounting expertise -> united

International issues rarely fall within a single discipline. Legal decisions have tax implications, and financial structures must comply with legal frameworks across multiple jurisdictions.

IGAL was designed to reflect this reality by bringing together lawyers and accountants within the same international network.

This dual expertise allows:

• coordinated legal and tax advice,

• efficient handling of cross-border matters,

• and a clearer understanding of complex international structures.

For clients, this integrated approach significantly reduces risk and improves decision-making.

IV – A peer-driven membership model

Membership in IGAL is based on professional recognition rather than volume.

Prospective members are assessed on:

• depth of expertise,

• professional standing,

• ethical standards,

• and peer endorsement.

This approach ensures that IGAL remains a network of trusted professionals, rather than a collection of names.

For clients, it provides reassurance that advisors are recognised not only locally, but also internationally by their peers.

Who works with IGAL?

A – Businesses and entrepreneurs

Companies operating across borders face increasing legal and financial complexity, whether during expansion, restructuring or ongoing operations.

IGAL enables businesses to access reliable local expertise, supported by an international framework that ensures consistency and coordination.

B – Individuals and families

International family matters require sensitivity, discretion and deep legal understanding across jurisdictions.

IGAL members regularly assist with cross-border family law, succession, relocation and asset-related matters.

C – Legal and accounting Professionals

For lawyers and accountants, IGAL represents both recognition and opportunity:

• international referrals,

• collaboration with trusted peers,

• knowledge exchange,

• and enhanced international visibility.

Beyond a traditional international network

Many networks claim global reach.

Few offer genuine collaboration and consistent standards.

IGAL distinguishes itself through:

• selective growth,

• active professional engagement,

• combined legal and accounting expertise,

• and a long-term vision focused on quality rather than expansion.

This positioning allows IGAL to develop authority organically, through credibility and professional excellence.

I – Value for clients

Working with an IGAL member means:

• engaging a professional recognised by international peers,

• avoiding uncertainty when selecting advisors abroad,

• benefiting from coordinated legal and financial expertise,

• and securing international matters with greater confidence.

In cross-border contexts, trust is not optional, it is essential.

II – Value for Members

IGAL is not merely a label.

It is a professional framework designed to support long-term international development.

Members benefit from:

• high-quality referrals,

• meaningful international cooperation,

• shared expertise,

• and strengthened professional positioning.

III – A long-term international vision

IGAL is built with sustainability in mind.

Rather than rapid expansion, the network prioritises:

• strong professional relationships,

• consistency of standards,

• and long-term international credibility.

This approach ensures that IGAL remains a trusted point of reference for both professionals and clients worldwide.

 

International legal and financial matters demand more than local expertise.

They require coordination, experience and trust across jurisdictions.

IGAL brings together lawyers and accountants who share these values within a single, carefully structured global network.

For clients and professionals alike, IGAL provides a clear answer to international complexity:
=>trusted expertise, connected worldwide.
