Confidential cross-border legal orientation for senior decision-makers
Executive Orientation Desk - Ask a Global Counsel
01
What is EOD
The Executive Orientation Desk (“Ask a Global Counsel”) is a confidential orientation mechanism for senior executives, General Counsel, boards, founders, and private capital facing emerging cross-border legal exposure.
It exists for moments where:
decisions are being considered,
commitments have not yet hardened,
and jurisdictional, enforcement, or regulatory behaviour is not fully visible.
The Desk provides context and orientation, not legal advice, mandates, or representation.
Its purpose is to help decision-makers understand how law is likely to function in practice across jurisdictions, before exposure becomes consequential.
02
What the Desk Provides
The Executive Orientation Desk supports understanding of:
regulatory posture and volatility across jurisdictions
enforcement behaviour and delay patterns
cross-border friction between legal systems
dispute emergence and escalation risk
practical reality of arbitration, litigation, mediation, and enforcement
The Desk does not:
provide legal opinions,
recommend counsel,
structure transactions,
or represent parties.
03
Engagement & Contribution
Engagement is reviewed on submission.
Orientation contributions typically range between USD 1,000 – 5,000, depending on:
number of jurisdictions involved,
depth of behavioural assessment required,
and follow-up clarification requested.
The contribution reflects the scope of orientation, not the outcome.
