Stay independent.
Think international.
Independence is one of your firm's greatest strengths. IGAL helps you preserve it while giving you access to trusted professional relationships around the world.
When a client needs support in another jurisdiction, you can turn to professionals you know. When another member needs expertise in your market, your firm becomes part of that opportunity.
IGAL is not simply a directory of firms. It is a network built around relationships, referrals, knowledge and trust.

Your questions. Our answers.
Considering joining an international network of independent law and accounting firms?
Discover what it takes to become an IGAL member and how membership can support your firm's international development.
IGAL welcomes independent law firms and accounting firms seeking to expand their international reach while maintaining their professional independence.
We look for established firms with a strong reputation in their local market, recognised professional expertise and a genuine commitment to international collaboration.
Prospective member firms are assessed on several factors, including their professional reputation, areas of expertise, market position, commitment to quality and ability to contribute to the network.
Beyond technical excellence, IGAL values firms that believe in building lasting professional relationships, sharing knowledge and actively participating in an international community.
Yes.
IGAL brings together two complementary professions: legal and accounting.
This multidisciplinary approach enables members to develop relationships with trusted professionals across both disciplines, creating opportunities for international referrals and cross-border collaboration.
Not necessarily.
While international experience is valuable, IGAL also welcomes firms with a clear ambition to develop their cross-border activities.
What matters most is your firm's professional standing, its willingness to collaborate internationally and its commitment to becoming an active member of the network.
Absolutely.
IGAL is a network of independent professional firms, not a partnership or a franchise.
Each member retains its own name, identity, ownership, management and professional autonomy.
Joining IGAL means gaining access to an international community without compromising what makes your firm unique.
The process begins with an application introducing your firm, its expertise and its international ambitions.
Following an initial review, prospective members may be invited to meet representatives of the network and participate in an office visit.
A membership decision is then made in accordance with IGAL's admission procedures.
The process is designed to ensure a strong professional and cultural fit between the applicant and the network.
Membership involves an annual subscription, generally determined by the size of the firm, as well as an initial joining fee.
Additional costs may apply to international meetings, conferences and overseas offices.
A detailed breakdown of the applicable fees is available in the Membership Fees & Commitments section of this page.
IGAL values active participation and meaningful professional relationships.
Member firms are encouraged to engage with their international colleagues, attend network meetings, exchange expertise and contribute to the development of cross-border opportunities.
The network's strength comes from the commitment of its members to building long-term relationships based on trust, professionalism and mutual support.
