Clear answers about SGA World.
Understand how the network works, how independent member firms support clients and how firms can apply to join.
Are SGA World member firms part of one legal firm?
No. Every member firm is a separate legal entity. Each firm owns and manages its client relationships, accepts its own engagements and remains responsible for its professional work.
How do I find support in another country?
Use the member-firm directory to identify a firm in the relevant market, or send SGA World an enquiry. With your permission, the enquiry can be shared with an appropriate independent member firm.
What services are available?
Capabilities across the network include audit and assurance, accounting, taxation, consulting and advisory, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and legal support. Availability and scope vary by firm and jurisdiction.
How are member firms reviewed?
The admission process includes an application and assessment, with a firm visit or review where required. Member firms are then subject to a three-year quality-review cycle.
How can an independent firm apply for membership?
The process starts with an enquiry and discussion, followed by a formal application and self-assessment. A review or visit may be required before approval, documentation, payment and introduction to the membership.
