We provide a wide range of organizational advocacy with particular emphasis on ethics, lobbying, and conflicts of interest. We help governments define their strategic plans and internal organization, become “active owners,” and optimize the state shareholding portfolio.

Economic Policy Circles in Washington. In recent years, the regulation of political activity has grown exponentially in terms of both sheer volume and exacting scrutiny. Today, every type of political initiative—whether a campaign, a ballot proposal, lobbying initiative, or contributing to a cause—is subject to numerous complexes and often overlapping local, state, and federal financial restrictions and reporting requirements. We have developed insights to help leaders set up an effective government, tackle their highest priorities, and meaningfully improve the lives of their constituents. We work with government organizations to improve the lives and livelihoods of their citizens, driving transformations that have a significant, positive impact on society. Our work spans multiple sectors and functions, including digital and analytics, operations, organization, and strategy. We work end-to-end—from diagnosis to delivery of lasting impact—together generating tangible results that are improving the lives of millions worldwide.

Increasingly, business leaders are coming to understand that to sustain long-term success in the marketplace requires not only compliance with existing laws but active participation in the formulation of future laws. It is no longer enough to jump through today’s regulatory hoops while hoping they get no higher or tighter. Sound business practice demands that businesses, industries, and trade associations must make sure lawmakers hear their voices so they can influence the rules for tomorrow’s marketplace. Whether a client seeks to influence legislation, is involved in a political campaign, or needs guidance on regulatory compliance, our government team helps clients formulate and execute efficient government policy strategies that achieve real results. We build distinctive early warning systems, create proactive action and escalation operations, develop pragmatic business continuity plans, and train the next generation of leaders to be resilient.

We help clients amplify their political voices and achieve their important objectives. To that end we work closely with our clients to understand their government policy goals and how those goals fit into their broader business objectives. Doing so enables us to devise and implement the best strategies to promote the client’s interests through executive, legislative, regulatory, and political channels. A particular client’s strategy may include educating policymakers, securing passage of legislation or appropriation of funds, crafting programs to ensure the client is in compliance with existing rules and regulations and urging the creation of new rules or regulations and the reinterpretation of old ones. Our bipartisan group of consultants and registered lobbyists have decades of experience that bring our clients’ interests to bear upon executive, legislative, and regulatory decision-making.
