Suitable opportunities
Be considered for complex matters that match your expertise, experience, capacity and professional interests.
Join the SQN Professional Panel
Complex matters. Clear instructions. Professional relationships built to last.
SQN Global works with trusted solicitors, barristers, King’s Counsel, experts, investigators and specialist professionals to support complex commercial disputes and client matters from assessment through to resolution.
We are expanding the SQN Professional Panel and are looking to build long-term relationships with experienced professionals who want to be considered for suitable matters where their expertise can make a real difference.
To bring the right professionals into the right matters
Why join the panel?
More than a supplier list.
We want to build a trusted network of professionals whose expertise, experience and way of working we understand before the right matter arises. Where there is a suitable fit, our intention is for the panel to be the first place SQN looks when specialist support is required.
Clear instructions
Understand what is required, what you are being asked to deliver, who is instructing you and what has been authorised.
Commercial clarity
Work against agreed scope, fees, budgets or fee caps, with material changes identified and authorised through a controlled process.
Established in advance
Complete commercial, compliance and onboarding steps before an opportunity arises, helping both sides move efficiently when the right matter comes in.
Professional independence
You remain responsible for your professional judgment, duties, standards and regulatory obligations.
Where you add the most value
The right professional for the right matter.
The strongest professional relationships start with understanding where each professional is best placed to contribute.
01
Your specialist areas of practice or expertise
02
The types of matters you are interested in
03
Your professional experience and regulatory standing
04
Your preferred commercial arrangements
05
Your availability and capacity
06
The circumstances in which your experience is particularly valuable
This allows SQN to approach the right professional for the right matter.
Transparent payment
Predictable timing.
Professionals should know how they will be paid and when they can expect payment. Approved professional fees are managed through an independent regulated third-party managed account, providing a controlled and auditable payment route.
Submit
Submit your invoice for completed work through the SQN system.
Review
SQN reviews the invoice against the agreed instruction, scope and approved cost.
Payment
Approved invoices are processed through the agreed controlled payment route.
Know what you have been asked to do, what has been authorised, what you can invoice, and when an approved invoice is due to be paid.
You remain the professional
Your work. Your judgment. Your standards.
SQN manages the wider matter environment, including coordination, workflow, approvals, budgets and interaction between the different parties involved. You remain responsible for your own professional work.
Professional judgment
Your expert judgement remains your own.
Regulatory obligations
You remain responsible for the obligations attached to your role.
Professional standards
Your work continues to be governed by the standards of your profession.
Duties to the client
Where applicable, your duties and direct client relationship remain clear and independent.
Decisions within your role
You retain responsibility for decisions within your professional scope.
SQN does not seek to interfere with professional judgment. Our role is to make the environment around your work structured, properly authorised and easier to operate within.

Built for ongoing relationships
Establish the relationship now.
We are not looking to treat every new matter as a completely new professional relationship. Where professionals work well within the SQN model, we want the relationship to develop over time.
That means understanding your expertise, knowing the circumstances in which you are best placed to help and being able to approach you more efficiently when relevant opportunities arise.
For the right professionals, the panel creates a simple proposition.
SQN knows
what you do.
You understand
how SQN works.
Both sides move
when the right matter arises.
Joining is simple
Transparent and efficient from the beginning.
Our online onboarding process lets you understand the relationship and apply without unnecessary meetings or paperwork.
Complete your application
Share the professional details, experience, expertise and commercial information needed to assess your application.
Support the review
Where relevant, provide regulatory status, insurance and other professional information.
Join the portal
Once reviewed and accepted, you will be invited onto the SQN portal to receive instructions.
