Frequently Asked Questions

Bloomsbury Consultancy is for people whose professional lives involve significant decisions, relationships or exposure. We particularly work with athletes, creators, public figures and professionals navigating situations where the consequences extend beyond a single area.

Not at all. Bloomsbury Consultancy provides ongoing counsel and perspective, supporting clients through the opportunities, decisions and challenges that come with a public-facing career. We are there not only when something requires attention, but throughout — helping clients navigate what is happening now and prepare thoughtfully for what comes next.

Yes. In many cases, our clients already have lawyers, agents, managers, PR advisers, accountants or other specialists. Our role is to provide an independent perspective and help ensure the wider picture is being considered.

We begin by understanding the situation and what you are looking for. We will then consider whether we are the right fit, explain how we could assist and, where appropriate, agree the scope of the engagement before any work begins.

We treat enquiries with discretion and sensitivity. You should initially share only the information necessary to explain the situation and avoid sending highly sensitive material until we have discussed the appropriate arrangements.

Yes. Situations involving international relationships, organisations or interests can be considered as part of our work. Where specialist advice is required in another jurisdiction, we can also help identify and coordinate appropriate expertise.

Yes. Not every important decision is a legal one. Our role can involve assessing relationships, opportunities, reputation, commercial considerations, competing advice or the wider consequences of a decision.

Yes. We can become involved at any stage. Sometimes the immediate issue has passed but important decisions still need to be made about what happens next.

Our primary focus is on individuals and the people behind public-facing careers. However, the appropriate structure can depend on the circumstances, and we can discuss whether our approach is suitable for an organisation or wider professional team.

Yes. Where a matter requires expertise beyond our role, part of our work can be identifying the relevant specialist and helping ensure that the right people are involved.

No. The appropriate arrangement depends on the circumstances. Some matters require a single focused conversation, while others benefit from support over a defined period or an ongoing relationship.

Bloomsbury Consultancy is based in London but operates globally. We work with clients wherever they are based and can consider situations involving international relationships, organisations or interests. Where specialist advice is required in another jurisdiction, we can help identify and coordinate appropriate expertise.

This depends on the circumstances and the urgency of the matter. If something requires immediate attention, tell us when you contact us and briefly explain what is happening so that we can assess the situation appropriately.

You can make an initial enquiry on someone else's behalf. However, we will need to establish the appropriate relationship and obtain any necessary authority before discussing confidential matters in detail.

For an initial enquiry, you only need to provide enough information for us to understand the broad nature of the situation, what has happened and what you need help with. There is no need to prepare a lengthy account or send every document at the outset.
