Are professional partnerships only with other lawyers?

No. B2B.ID is a cross-industry platform. Lawyers build relationships with other lawyers and firms, and with accountants, consultants, investigators, experts and other businesses their matters require.

What is a Request Partnership?

A structured request that explains the relationship you're proposing — co-counsel, referral, local counsel, specialist, complementary or vendor — with your B2B ID attached, so the other side has context before replying.

Do partnerships involve fee-sharing or commissions?

B2B.ID makes no promise or requirement about fees. Any commercial terms are agreed between the parties under the rules that apply to them. B2B.ID provides the identity, discovery and structured request.

Is this a networking community or group?

No. B2B.ID is not a community, forum or group chat. Relationships start with structured requests between B2B IDs, not with posts or cold messages.

Professional partnerships

Build professional relationships that expand what your firm can do.

Law firms have business relationships well beyond referrals: co-counsel, local counsel, specialists, complementary firms, accountants, consultants, investigators and experts. B2B.ID gives each of them an identity, a context and a structured way to start.

Relationships, not a feed

Request Introduction

Ask to be introduced to a lawyer, firm or business — with your B2B ID and the reason attached, so the other side can evaluate before responding.

“Introduce me to a NY employment lawyer for a client's executive separation.”

Request Meeting

Propose a conversation about a matter, a referral relationship or a co-counsel arrangement. Both sides see context first.

“20 minutes to discuss local-counsel coverage in Texas.”

Request Partnership

Start a formal professional relationship — referral, co-counsel, local counsel or complementary practice — from a structured request rather than a cold message.

“Ongoing co-counsel on complex commercial disputes.”

Kinds of partnership

Every relationship your matters depend on.

Co-counsel

Shared representation on matters that need more expertise or capacity than one firm has.

Referral relationships

Lawyers and firms who send and receive matters that fit each other's practice.

Local counsel

Coverage in jurisdictions where you aren't admitted or don't have a presence.

Specialist counsel

Depth in a niche your clients occasionally need — tax, IP, immigration, regulatory.

Complementary firms

Practices that serve the same clients from a different angle.

Accountants, consultants, investigators & experts

The non-lawyer professionals your matters and clients regularly require.

How partnerships work

Identity, context, then a request.
