Prospective members are always welcome to contact LEI’s CEO, Pablo Bonfill, for an initial discussion.

If the prospective firm wishes to proceed with their application, the first stage will be to complete a Membership Application Form. If the firm appears to meet the group’s membership criteria and business objectives, LEI will arrange a visit to the firm to conduct a quality assurance review.

A prospective member firm is required:

TO PASS A LEI QUALITY ASSURANCE REVIEW All member firms are required to maintain quality control procedures within their firms and are expected to carry adequate insurance cover.

TO MEET THE MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA The key elements of the group’s membership criteria are as follows:
To provide high quality and personal services to all clients;
To respond to all international communications promptly;
To service international referrals and enquiries in a timely and efficient manner;
To actively promote the firm’s membership through branding and promotional activity.
To appoint a committed international Contact Person, as the conduit between LEI and other member firms.

TO APPOINT AN INTERNATIONAL CONTACT PERSON The International Contact Person is the key point of contact with LEI and other member firms.

If these conditions are met, and with the approval of existing members, the prospective firm is admitted to membership. There is no obligation for member firms to be exclusive to LEI. However, it is hoped that firms will use other LEI members for their overseas needs whenever possible.
