Government relations · Policy · Market entryCapabilities
Five practices, one purpose: to help our clients reach the right decision-makers with the right case at the right time.
Government relations
Structured, transparent engagement with ministries, authorities and public entities in the UAE and the GCC.
We help organisations build lasting, well-founded relationships with the public bodies that matter to their business. Our work starts with understanding each institution's mandate and priorities, so that every interaction is relevant, well prepared and respectful of formal channels.
Typical work
- Institutional and stakeholder mapping
- Preparation and support for meetings with authorities
- Representation of positions in consultations and working groups
- Relationship management and follow-up over time
Policy and regulatory advisory
Early sight of regulatory change, impact analysis and evidence-based positions for consultations and rule-making.
Regulation can open a market or close it. We monitor policy developments, assess their impact on our clients and help them contribute constructively to the way new rules are designed.
Typical work
- Regulatory horizon scanning and early warning
- Impact assessments and position papers
- Responses to public consultations
- Licensing pathways and engagement with regulators and free zones
Market entry and investment facilitation
A clear route into Dubai and the UAE for European companies and investors, and into Europe for Gulf capital.
For companies and investors arriving in the UAE, we turn a complex landscape into a clear plan: which authority, which licence, which partners and in what order. For Gulf investors, we do the same in Europe.
Typical work
- Entry strategy and choice of jurisdiction, mainland or free zone
- Introductions to authorities, partners and advisers
- Coordination with legal, tax and licensed financial firms
- Support with investment and incentive applications
Strategic communications
Narratives, briefings and reputation management for audiences that expect precision.
A position is only as strong as the way it is explained. We develop clear narratives and materials for decision-makers, media and partners, and help clients protect their reputation when it matters most.
Typical work
- Key messages and briefing documents
- Executive preparation for high-level meetings
- Media and stakeholder communications
- Issues and reputation management
Delegations and business missions
Programmes of meetings that put the right people in the same room, in Dubai and abroad.
Well-designed missions create relationships that last beyond the visit. We plan and run programmes for companies, chambers and institutions travelling to Dubai, and for Gulf delegations visiting Europe.
Typical work
- Programme design and meeting agendas
- Selection and briefing of counterparts
- Protocol, logistics and on-site coordination
- Follow-up plans after the mission
