Hire leadership
Advisers and advisory boards
Bring experienced judgement, challenge and specialist expertise to the decisions in front of you.
Advice without a statutory board vote
An adviser offers strategic input and constructive challenge. An advisory appointment does not itself give a statutory board vote or a director’s fiduciary duties. Confidentiality, conflicts and agreed contractual obligations still matter.
One adviser or a complementary advisory board
Choose a specialist for a focused challenge or combine perspectives across an advisory board. Define each seat separately and agree the scope in an advisory agreement.
Which perspective is missing?
Choose the emphasis for your seat. Each brief has its own capability requirements.

Frequently asked questions
- How do we choose the right person?
- Set the capability requirements for the seat, review the anonymised shortlist and interview against the evidence. Partner-verified scores are shown only where verification exists.
- How is compensation agreed?
- Agree the commitment, cash or equity, term and other conditions with the appointee before signing. The placement fee is separate from their compensation.
- Can an adviser become a director?
- Yes, through a separate director appointment with the relevant disclosures and statutory responsibilities. An advisory agreement alone does not make someone a director.
