Explore the practiceFor organisations entering or operating in markets where government and business are closely connected.
Explore the practiceEngagements are shaped around the situation rather than a fixed methodology. In practice, most involve some combination of the following.
Identifying who decides, who influences the decision, and on what basis — before any approach is made.
Preparing and conducting engagement with ministries, regulators, agencies and public counterparties.
Assessing how current and forthcoming rules affect a specific commercial position, and what room exists to shape them.
Establishing who a prospective partner actually is, how they operate, and what standing they hold locally.
Preparing positions, sitting in the room where useful, and coordinating with the client's legal and financial advisers.
Ongoing availability to the chief executive or board on decisions as they arise, under retainer.
The firm operates through established relationships and on-the-ground engagement — not through a network of offices. Working languages: French, English, Italian, Arabic.
