OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Government Relations and Regulatory Engagement

  1. Why Government Engagement Is Part of Ordinary Business Planning

    Companies operating in regulated or strategically important sectors often need to communicate with government not only when a problem arises, but as part of ordinary business planning. New legislation, changes in regulatory policy, licensing decisions, public funding programs and enforcement priorities can materially affect investment and operating decisions.

  2. Building Legally Sound Engagement Strategies

    We assist clients in developing legally sound and commercially focused engagement strategies with relevant government bodies and regulators.

  3. What Our Engagement Work Includes

    Our work includes preparation for meetings with public authorities, legal and policy submissions, responses to consultations, regulatory correspondence, engagement concerning proposed transactions or investments and representation in administrative processes.

  4. Translating Business Issues Into Legal and Policy Positions

    Where clients seek to explain the commercial or economic consequences of proposed regulation, we help translate technical business issues into clear legal and policy positions supported by appropriate factual analysis.

  5. Navigating Lobbying, Transparency and Conflict-of-Interest Rules

    Government engagement must be conducted within applicable legal and ethical frameworks. We advise on lobbying, transparency, registration, conflict-of-interest and other requirements that may apply to interactions with government officials or public institutions and coordinate with specialist local counsel where necessary.

  6. Early Engagement to Reduce Regulatory Uncertainty

    We also assist companies facing uncertainty regarding the interpretation or implementation of existing regulation. Early engagement with the relevant authority can sometimes provide greater certainty than proceeding on an assumption that may later be challenged.

  7. Legal Analysis, Not Political Access

    Our role is not to substitute political access for legal analysis. We help clients engage with public institutions through credible legal, regulatory and policy arguments that support legitimate business objectives.
