The new standard
for consulting solutions
A new paradigm for consulting
One curated market for management, technology and AI consulting: companies buy help in the shape the problem needs, consultants find work that fits, and firms buy and supply as their pipeline moves.
What Legate is
Three groups. Each one strengthens the other two.
Legate offers a new operating model for consulting projects. Three groups use it, and each one strengthens the other two.
Companies come to Legate for management, technology or AI work at a price they can defend. Independent top-tier consultants come for work that fits their expertise and their rate. Consulting firms come for briefs that match their specialisation, for vetted people when a project runs one person short, and for a way to earn on consultants who sit between projects.
We do three jobs that marketplaces skip. We help you define the problem before anyone gets hired, we match on evidence rather than keyword overlap, and we stay involved during delivery, kick-off and closing. One set of contracts covers the engagement, one price that every party can see, and one team you can call. Each engagement names who on your side takes over, and plans how our people step back as they do.
What each side gets
Each side takes something different from the same market.

Why Legate
Three reasons this works where traditional solutions stop.
Questions
Frequently asked
Companies pay a fee per engagement, below what traditional intermediaries charge, with a subscription option for frequent buyers. The fee stays the same whether you hire one specialist or a team of six, so a bigger team earns us nothing. Firms pay a success-based amount when we place work with them. Consultants pay nothing. You see the full breakdown on every engagement before you sign.
We interview each consultant, verify references by hand, and check registration and insurance. Firms go through the same review at practice level. We admit people on the strength of their record, and we remove them when delivery falls short.
You raise it with the Legate team. If the fit turns out wrong in the first four weeks, we replace the person or team and give up our fee for that period.
No. Companies keep their other suppliers, consultants take work wherever they find it, and firms run their own pipeline next to ours.
We contract through framework agreements and statements of work, templated end to end, or through your own procurement. A licensed payment provider handles the money. Legate holds no client funds.
