What consortium management involves
Consortium management supports groups of companies working together on shared regulatory obligations, such as REACH.
This includes coordinating joint submissions, managing data-sharing, and supporting governance. It also covers the ongoing work needed to maintain dossiers over time. We support both new and established consortia. Some need help setting up structures. Others need clearer coordination or stronger governance.
Our role is to bring structure, clarity, and consistency to how the group works together.
What we do
We manage the practical work that keeps a consortium running smoothly. This includes:
Consortium Setup and Coordination
- Setting up new consortia for EU or UK REACH activities
- Coordinating communication between members
- Managing documentation and version control
- Supporting data-sharing and governance processes
- Organising meetings, agendas, and records
Oversight and Ongoing Management
- Aligning strategies across EU, UK, KREACH, and KKDIK
- Ensuring competition law compliance
- Tracking timelines, decisions, and actions
- Supporting budgets and agreed workstreams
- Developing transparent Letter of Access models and cost reconciliation
We handle the day-to-day coordination. This keeps the consortium organised and moving forward.
We also work alongside finance providers who manage invoicing. We keep oversight of the full process.
The difference we make
Independent coordination keeps things clear and fair.
Members stay aligned on expectations, timelines, and responsibilities. This reduces friction and helps avoid disputes.
We keep work progressing. We make sure decisions are recorded. And we give members the space to focus on their technical and commercial priorities.
Our experience
We have supported consortia of different sizes and levels of complexity.
This includes:
- Single-substance consortia with large numbers of joint registrants
- Multi-substance consortia with smaller memberships, including groups covering more than 45 substances across EU and UK regimes
Each consortium works differently. We adapt our approach to fit the structure, the workload, and the level of complexity
What working with us looks like
-
Step 1
Understand the consortium
We start by understanding the purpose of the consortium. This includes the substances, the regulatory scope, and how the group is set up.
-
Step 2
Put clear structures in place
We then put clear structures in place. This includes communication routes, workflows, and responsibilities.
-
Step 3
Provide ongoing support
Our support is often long term. Consortium work does not stop after registration. We help keep everything clear, organised, and moving.
Frequently asked questions
-
It is the coordination of companies working together on shared regulatory obligations. This includes joint registrations, data-sharing, and governance.
-
In many cases, yes. Consortia are still needed to manage ongoing obligations, data access, and dossier updates.
-
There are usually two parts. Consortium costs cover coordination and governance. Data-sharing costs relate to access to studies. Both should be handled transparently.
-
These are defined in the consortium agreement. Non-members usually access data through a Letter of Access.
-
We act as a neutral coordinator. We use agreed governance processes to resolve issues and keep work moving.
