WHAT WE DO
There is no substitute for experience
Our public affairs team has operated in some of our country’s most senior political and governmental roles, so we are uniquely positioned to help you drive change for your government relations objectives. Whether you are looking to shape national policy, make or change legislation or dive into regulations that affect your business, we can help.
We can advise you on how government at all levels works, the people and relationships involved in decision-making, and the political and policy context in which decisions will be made.
We tailor strategies to meet your needs and are specialists in:
Public policy development
Drive change that affects how we live and work. We can help you design, shape, influence or create momentum for public policy.
Regulatory change
How regulations are written can have a material impact on your business or organization. Our team will ensure you understand how to track and comment on their development.
Intelligence gathering
Politics is ever-changing. Stay informed with regular updates on people and events that shape the policy agenda.
Coalition building
Amplify impact and influence on public policy and governments at all levels. We can help build a coalition of advocates to echo your messages to stakeholders and help shift perceptions to achieve common goals.
