AGN International represents high-calibre firms across over 80 countries and is known for its rigorous admission standards and focus on professional excellence. As a member, Dains gains access to a trusted global network, enabling it to offer clients enhanced international insight, collaboration, and support.

Dains has engaged with AGN through its associate membership via the UK200 Group. However, as the firm’s client base continues to grow in scale and complexity—particularly in cross-border matters—Dains recognised the value of stepping into full membership. The move reflects a clear strategic decision to strengthen international connectivity, deepen relationships with fellow member firms, and unlock greater opportunities for shared knowledge and innovation.

“It is a great pleasure to welcome Dains to the AGN membership, and we look forward to adding value to the business. Dains is a rapidly developing, ambitious business, with a truly impressive growth record in all the main services, alongside significant specialisms in international expansion, business recovery, and sector-specific expertise. With its talent and culture-led business approach, and emphasis on quality and standards, Dains is a great fit for the AGN global association.”  Malcolm Ward – Global CEO, AGN International

It’s a significant step in our growth journey and a signal of our intent to collaborate, innovate and lead.” Richard McNeilly – CEO, Dains

Joining AGN as a full member marks a strategic move for Dains as it continues to expand and enhance its international capabilities—aligning global reach with deep local expertise to support the ambitions of dynamic businesses.
