Experts in the politics of The Hague
We have worked in Lobbying and Public Affairs since 1994 and are recognised as a leader in our field. We have built up an excellent network and we always work within the ‘rules of the game’. Our years of expertise means we are well versed in the political decision making process and how we can influence it.
Lobbying and Public Affairs: advocating your interests
We operate at the interface of politics and economics, with our core business consisting of Lobbying and Public Affairs. Both of those specialisms focus on the need to advocate your organisation's professional interests. We do that by engaging with members of Parliament, political advisers, parliamentary groups, ministries, ministers and other relevant parties.
With Lobbying this means:
• a clearly defined activity
• taking place within a set timeframe
• with the objective of legitimately influencing decision making or legislation
With Public Affairs:
• the focus is on building and nurturing relationships
• ongoing strategic interaction takes place with political and influential players
Political Coaching is about:
• placing your message on the political radar as effectively as possible
• preparing you well for hearings, round table discussions and enquiries (parliamentary or other)
• if you are a committee member for a local or regional authority, guiding you through political turbulence
• if you are a CEO, board member or director, coaching you in steering your business in relation to political plans.
With Mergers and Acquisitions we can help you:
• move towards an investment decision by mapping out the political/administrative risks and analysing them
• monitoring the development of political/administrative issues as the process plays out, and offering support with negotiations
• setting up and maintaining networks in The Hague, Berlin and Brussels after the merger/acquisition has taken place.
