With a focus on navigating the complexities of US public policy, our team offers policy monitoring, regulatory analysis, and strategy development. We work for corporates, offering insights into the impact of regulatory, legislative, and policy trends; and for institutional investors to understand policy trends as they impact asset-level transactions and portfolios. Drawing from our successful track record globally, we leverage this experience to support US-based clients, enabling a deeper understanding of broader policy and regulatory issues beyond the US.

This can include transaction-based due diligence at the federal and/or state level to inform bid/offer pricing and strategy, as well as portfolio-level reviews to stress test holdings against political, policy or regulatory change.

Our services include policy monitoring, government affairs strategic planning, and messaging and content development.
