An international alliance of independent law and professional services firms.
CELIA Alliance
We are dedicated to helping international businesses make the most of their people.
As a non-exclusive alliance, CELIA members are also retained by other professional services firms (including some of the world’s largest law firms) to deliver the expert services expected by their clients.
What we do
The rationale for CELIA is to deliver high-quality, integrated multi-disciplinary international services dedicated to serving our clients’ International HR function.
Services range across the full range of Compensation and Benefits, Employment and Labour law, and International Assignments (hence the name CELIA) as well as complementary legal and tax services. CELIA also offers comprehensive international assignments and global mobility, tax and social security compliance services.
CELIA can help you make the most of employing, organising, paying, incentivising, and moving your people within and across borders.

How we work
Whether you require a one-off international project, a longer term cross-border service, or simply a referral to a local lawyer, all CELIA members are flexible on how the retainer is organised.
CELIA members have many years’ experience coordinating and delivering international projects and ongoing client care.
Contracting and invoicing is either arranged through one member, or from each CELIA firm to whichever of your Group companies suits you.
If you already have a preferred supplier of legal and tax services in any jurisdiction then that is not an obstacle. CELIA is a non-exclusive alliance – all CELIA members already happily work with many third party advisers as part of their commitment to work in whichever way best meets their clients’ needs.
Working with other advisors
Our CELIA members already provide services to some of the world’s largest law firms. These instructions reflect the high standard of service Alliance members offer.
As a non-exclusive alliance, all CELIA members are committed to making Alliance resources available to other professional advisers, wherever they are located.
Non-member professional services firms and other third parties are also free to reproduce CELIA newsletters as long as articles are reproduced on a free of charge basis and in full (together with the contact details, logos and disclaimer as shown on each article).
