The name

Konsilia, a registered EU Trade Mark, comes from the Latin noun Consilia, meaning Counsel. It begins with [K] to reflect the international nature of our work. 

Consilium.- Latin Consejo.- Spanish Counsel.- English Consell.- Catalan
Konsilo.- Esperanto Conseil.- French Comhairle.- Irish Cyngor.- Welsh
Konseho.- Tagalog Consiglio.- Italian Conselho.- Portuguese Consello.- Galician
Konseyi.- Turkish Consiliu.- Roman Council.- Icelandic Këshilli.- Albanian
Kunsill.- Maltese Volikogu.- Estonian Cobet.- Russian Vijeće.- Croatian
Cabet.- Belorussian, Servo Συμβούλιο - Greek המועצה - Hebrew परिषद -Hindi

Consilia, the plural of the Latin noun Consilium, means guidance, advice, suggestion, wisdom, plan, purpose and judgment. 

The use of Consilia referring to legal counsel dates back to the XI Century in Bologna, Italy. The Consilia were collections of legal opinions by the Glossators expanding on the meaning of the ancient Roman Law collections. 

We use the letter [K] in lieu of [C] as the [k] phoneme represents in all languages the correct pronunciation of the letter [C] in Consilia. We transcript Consilia as Konsilia in accordance with the International Phonetic Alphabet. 

On the topic of sound, the [Ko] syllable in Sanskrit [को] is associated with Jupiter, the archetype of Counsel and Wisdom in most Indo-European cultures, including India, Greece and Rome. 

Therefore, we believe that Konsilia, both by meaning and phonetics, embodies the attributes we strive to represent in our practice and profession. 

Konsilia in the English and Spanish Language 

ENGLISH.-  Origin Middle English: via Old French counseil (noun), conseiller (verb), from Latin consilium ‘consultation, advice,’ related to consulere (see consult ). Compare with council

DICTIONARY.- COUNSEL |ˈkounsəl| noun.- 1 advice, esp. that given formally. • consultation, esp. to seek or give advice. 2 ( pl. same) the lawyer or lawyers conducting a case : the counsel for the defense. verb ( -seled , -seling ; chiefly Brit. -selled, -selling) [ trans. ] give advice to (someone) : he was counseled by his supporters to return to Germany. • give professional psychological help and advice to (someone) : he was being counseled for depression. • recommend (a course of action) : the athlete's coach counseled caution. 

WIKIPEDIA.- COUNSEL or COUNSELLOR.- A counsel or a counselor gives advice, more particularly in legal matters. The legal system in England uses the term counsel as an approximate synonym for a barrister-at-law ', and may apply it to mean either a single person who pleads a cause, or collectively, the body of barristers engaged in a case. It seems uncertain as to whether the term also applies to a solicitor advocate. Some judges and lawyers apply the term interchangeably between both barristers and solicitor advocates. The difference between "Barrister" and "Counsel" is subtle. "Barrister" is a professional title awarded by one of the four Inns of Court, and is used in a barrister's private, academic or professional capacity. "Counsel" is used to refer to a barrister who is instructed on a particular case. It is customary to use the third person when addressing a barrister instructed on a case: "Counsel is asked to advise" rather than "You are asked to advise". The legal term counselor, or, more fully, counselor-at-law, became practically obsolete in England, but continued in use locally in Ireland as an equivalent to barrister, where a Senior Counsel (S.C.) is equivalent to the English Queen's Counsel (Q.C.) In the United States of America, the term counselor-at-law designates, specifically, an attorney admitted to practice in all courts of law; but as the United States legal system makes no formal division of the legal profession into two classes, as in England, most US citizens use the term loosely in the same sense as lawyer, meaning one who versed in (or practising) law. In the United States and Canada, many large and midsize law firms have lawyers with the job title of "counsel", "special counsel" or "of counsel". These lawyers are employees of the firm like associates, although sometimes they are independent contractor. They generally have their own clients, manage their own files, and supervise associates.
