The work

Most policy outcomes are settled well before the vote. By the time a bill reaches the floor or a rule is published, the people who shaped it have already made their case, usually months earlier, to the staff and officials who write the text.

We help you make your case early, while the options are still open. We find out who decides and when, build the argument and the evidence behind your ask, line up the allies who make it credible, and take it to the people who can act on it. Then we stay on it, because a win in the bill can still be lost in the regulation.

The best time to shape a rule is before anyone has written it.

What we do

  1. 01

    Direct lobbying

    Making your case to legislators, their staff and officials, with a clear ask and the evidence behind it.

  2. 02

    Legislative strategy & monitoring

    Tracking the bills that matter to you, mapping the votes and the veto points, and timing your move.

  3. 03

    Regulatory advocacy

    Comments, consultation responses and agency meetings, so your view is on the record before the rule is final.

  4. 04

    Coalitions

    Open alliances with trade groups, experts and organisations that share your position, under their own names.

  5. 05

    Policy papers & testimony

    The research, position papers and hearing testimony that make an ask defensible.

  6. 06

    Grassroots & grasstops

    Helping the people an issue genuinely affects, from employees to local leaders, tell decision-makers about it in their own words.

How a campaign runs

01

Map

Who decides, on what timetable, and what actually moves them.

02

Position

A clear ask, the evidence behind it, and an argument that works for the other side too.

03

Engage

Meetings, submissions, testimony and coalitions, in the right order.

04

Hold

Follow the issue into implementation and defend the outcome.

Where we work

Three capitals.

Washington DC

Congress, the executive branch and federal agencies.

New Delhi

Parliament, central ministries and national regulators.

New York

The United Nations system and multilateral institutions.

Who we work with

Companies, coalitions and causes with a stake in a public decision.

  • Companies
  • Industry & trade associations
  • Investors entering new markets
  • Nonprofits & causes
  • Coalitions
  • Diaspora & community groups

How we work: in the open. We tell officials who we represent, we register and disclose wherever the law requires it, and we never offer anything of value to public officials.
