Global advocates for your business opportunities
From new regulatory regimes for AML to the phase-out of hazardous chemicals, governments’ policy decisions often have far-reaching effects on businesses. We understand the issues where business, policy and politics intersect. Through advocacy, we help you achieve your strategic business objectives.
We are former politicians, trade negotiators, government ministers, sector and regulatory lawyers and political advisors with a wealth of experience. We know what it takes to negotiate complex trade agreements, and we know what regulatory authorities expect. We offer you integrated legislative and parliamentary advocacy and public affairs services. And we provide public policy and advocacy campaigns and strategic communications advice.
Our clients include sovereigns – governments, central banks and state-owned enterprises – commercial clients and international organizations. We advise them on how best to navigate the domestic political and regulatory landscape to do business in highly regulated sectors, such as banking, telecoms, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, energy, and more. We also provide counsel on national security, cyber-threats and multifaceted cross-border regulatory, licensing and approval processes.
“We are former politicians, trade negotiators, government ministers, sector and regulatory lawyers and political advisors with a wealth of experience.”
With 90+ offices in 40+ countries throughout the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific, we’re supported by sector-focused and international trade lawyers. Working with our networks in Whitehall, Westminster, EU institutions and member state capitals, we use our legal experience to promote more effective government affairs campaigns for clients. Many of our attorneys and other professionals previously held senior-level elected, appointed, and staff positions in federal and state governments.
We provide contentious and non-contentious export controls, customs regulations, regulatory trade and financial sanctions advice. Through advocacy and regulatory understanding, we help you manage your regulatory risk. You can then shape your regulatory environment and improve and better manage your supply chain resilience in an increasingly difficulty policy setting.
