Our Name

The Consus Group derives its name from Consus, the Roman god of counsel. The incarnation of good advice, Consus represents the quintessential purveyor of wisdom.

Our Vision

In business, information is power. Information about an industry or rival creates competitive advantage. Information about a deal or contract increases bargaining power.

Information creates asymmetry: one party has insight the other party lacks. In law and business, favorable information asymmetries mean more money–lower costs, better terms, higher profits. Unfavorable asymmetries portend lower profits… or worse. The Consus Group’s products and services create transparency, empowering customers with extraordinary competitive insight.

Our Rankings

In addition to analyzing thousands of contracts, industries, and companies every year, The Consus Group also evaluates the participants. For example, TCG assesses the performance of investments banks and law firms in securities transactions. We compile this information every year, tabulate the results, and publish our findings.

The Consus Group generally analyzes contracts, industries, and companies. But occasionally TCG displays its analytical expertise on other subjects of interest to the business and legal communities. Since 2000, these periodic endeavors have included publication of our rankings of business schools, law schools, and undergraduate universities.
