## From the administrators' statement

Global Counsel was incorporated on 20 December 2016 and operated as a strategic advisory business providing communications and public affairs consultancy to companies and investors across a range of geographies and sectors. It advised a number of blue-chip high-profile clients.

The Company employed 83 staff, primarily advisers, and operated from leasehold offices in London. GCL wholly owned four international subsidiaries located in Qatar, USA, Singapore and Belgium as well as a joint venture in Germany advising over 75 clients globally. These international subsidiaries relied heavily on the UK entity for client contract servicing and head-office functions such as finance, human resources, IT and operations.

We are not currently aware of any connected party transactions in the two years prior to the administration other than transactions in the ordinary course of business with other group entities. Although our investigation into the affairs of the Company is ongoing as outlined in Section 4.2 below.
