PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Lobbying & Influence

WHAT IT IS
The building and development of relations between an organization and politicians, governments and other decision-makers. GA Political helps its clients defend their interests and make their voices heard in political and economic debates, both in traditional and online media as well as within major international institutions.
 
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
On behalf of its clients, GA Political conducts campaigns of influence in the various decision-making spheres with institutions worldwide.

 

GA Political is specialized in Lobbying in Europe and Lobbying in the USA. Despite the fact that lobbying regulations are quite different, lobbying in the US and the EU is remarkably similar, with lobbyists in both capitals lunching with policymakers, shuttling drafts of legislation back and forth, and holding ‘informational conferences’ in pleasant locations. The one big difference between the US and the EU is that the majority of policymakers in the EU institutions are not elected, and since they do not need to stand for elections, they do not need to find the significant amounts of cash to support campaigns. Instead of spending innumerable hours fundraising, they balance competing interests in an effort to produce policies that are seen as legitimate, though produced by a less-than-democratic supranational structure.
