Marking a significant milestone this year, TAG Alliances® commemorates its 25th anniversary. TAG Alliances traces its roots back to its beginnings in 1999 in Massachusetts when founder Peter Appleton Jones embarked on his vision to create an alliance of law firms called TAGLaw®. Later that year, a group of ten forward-thinking law firms joined Peter in Paris, France, for the first-ever TAGLaw International Conference.
Since then, the vision and mission of TAGLaw has expanded to other professional services sectors through the creation of The International Accounting Group® (TIAG®) in 2003 and a division for Strategic Partners (TAG-SP®) in 2013.
In 2015, the Appleton Jones family seamlessly transitioned the leadership of TAG Alliances to Richard and Melisa Attisha. Richard, a lawyer and former partner at TAGLaw’s Vancouver-based member firm, Harper Grey, and Melisa, a chartered accountant with international experience, were uniquely qualified and perfectly positioned to continue the legacy of TAG Alliances and lead the organization into a new generation.
Over the last quarter century, TAG Alliances has become one of the world's largest and premier multidisciplinary alliances, encompassing 21,000+ professionals, 280+ member firms, and 800+ offices in over 110 countries. Over the years, TAG Alliances has convened 50 International Conferences across five continents, numerous Regional Meetings, and regularly scheduled virtual events to help members build and strengthen relationships that lead to collaboration, referrals, and opportunities. TAG Alliances also continues to be a leader by developing and maintaining a powerful web platform, launching a mobile application, giving to various causes through its TAG Foundation, and providing white-glove service and innovative solutions to its global community of members.
