Advocacy
Where necessary we build advocacy strategies to support client engagement with policymakers.
You may ask us to help develop a network among officials to ensure effective advocacy when needed. Or we may help you introduce an amendment to an Act of Parliament with the purpose of excluding your firm from the application of the law and thus win competitive advantage.
We may make a pre-bid assessment of policy, process and players relating to the sale of a public utility, assessing the chances that the government would sell the asset and revealing its thinking on how and to whom. Our findings would be used to model scenarios and to build the winning consortium.
We may be engaged to undermine a public procurement process that unfairly excludes you. Or we may provide litigation support to a government defending its actions against a private firm.
Whatever the brief, we adopt a cautious and structured approach, working with you to build your best case and to ensure best representation. We attach great importance to risk definition at the start, by which we mean establishing whether there exists an affordable and timely route to success without risk to your reputation. If not, we tell you.
