Public Policy

As businesses face unparalleled political and economic challenges, our team of industry specialists help clients understand the policy and regulatory frameworks within which their businesses operate. The combination of our market insight and technical expertise helps our clients anticipate and navigate regulatory and legislative shifts. 

We issue spot, analyse and offer clarity through UK, EU and global political discourse. We provide clients with:

• intelligence briefings that explain forthcoming developments in straightforward terms;
• policy analysis that interprets potential real-world impacts on clients' businesses, including the impact on investment decisions, portfolio strategies and the deployment of capital;
• investor communication plans, helping design strategies and disclosures that meet regulatory expectations and maintain trust; and
• strategic business advisory services that highlight key regulatory and fiscal risks and opportunities. 

Recent client focus areas have included tax policy; sustainable finance; financial regulation and Parliamentary scrutiny; implications of a change of Government; pensions reform; EU legislation and future UK trading relationships; evolving environmental policy; and the G20/OECD Inclusive Framework.

We also advise on stakeholder mapping for targeted engagement – whether with government departments, regulators or industry bodies – and can guide clients through relevant legislative and parliamentary processes.

Through this work, we help clients respond decisively to changing political and regulatory agendas, enabling them to plan ahead with greater certainty and confidence. Our specialists work side-by-side with colleagues across tax, regulatory, corporate, real estate, disputes and restructuring, and our guidance is rooted in the legal and commercial realities of our clients’ businesses.
