Konexo and Diligent launch ‘client first’ global partnership

Combining people and tech to improve corporate secretarial services

Konexo, developed by Eversheds Sutherland, has partnered with Diligent Corporation, the leading governance software company, to create an enhanced and robust offering for its corporate secretarial clients.

Unique in the market, this innovative collaboration will combine core capabilities from each organisation to develop a new global and integrated approach for clients. Diligent offers a secure, technology-led solution to track and manage corporate data and board papers, making them available to the client and its stakeholders 24/7/365 from any location. This will be complemented by Konexo’s dedicated entity management expertise to advise and implement corporate secretarial compliance and governance practices in over 100 jurisdictions through Eversheds Sutherlands’ independent global network.

Konexo will also help clients by taking ownership of Diligent’s software, facilitating the extraction of valuable Management Information (MI) for client stakeholders to create bespoke regular reporting, group structure charts and automated data validation.

Graham Richardson, Partner and Head of Konexo, commented:

“We pride ourselves on being able to adapt and enhance our services to meet client need. The global pandemic has changed the way many organisations now operate. Adopting new technologies has always been at the forefront of our global growth strategy, and this has only been expediated under the circumstances. We are pleased to team up with Diligent, a major player in the industry, to bring together technology and professional expertise to best support our clients.”

Andy Casey, Head of Corporate Secretarial Services, Konexo, added:

“Having the right technology and the right people has never been more important. This new and dynamic partnership will bring together the strengths of each team to best support our clients now, and in the future.”
