Global Counsel is a strategic advisory firm founded in 2013 by Peter Mandelson (former UK Cabinet Minister and European Commissioner) and Benjamin Wegg-Prosser. The firm provides geopolitical and policy advisory services to corporate clients. Based on publicly available information through my knowledge cutoff, there are no significant court cases or litigation matters involving Global Counsel as a party that have generated substantial public record documentation. The firm operates as a consultancy rather than in sectors typically associated with frequent litigation. This research found no notable judgments, regulatory enforcement actions, or court filings naming Global Counsel as plaintiff or defendant in major jurisdictions.
