IR Global works with and assists leading professional services firms with the growth of their practice by building referrals and business development opportunities.

The structure ensures each member holds exclusivity for their area of expertise and jurisdiction and the opportunity to network both online and at events throughout the year. Each member is also supported by their own client manager who works alongside the firm to help them achieve their objectives.

We look for firms who are not just content to be part of the industry but lead through innovation. – Ross Nicholls, Business Development Director, IR Global

Vetting Process

All applicants are subjected to a stringent vetting process prior to acceptance. During this process, we analyse firm market position, rankings and gauge feedback from connections in their jurisdiction. Each firm is required to have an exceptional reputation and the highest professional standards. In addition, a face to face meeting or conference call is required to discuss their motivations and why they do what they do. This also ensures the applicant is aware of group philosophy/expectations and how they can utilise their membership to best effect.
