PUBLIC AFFAIRS & PUBLIC DIPLOMACY

We position our clients at the core of public debate and strengthen their institutional network. We convey their expertise to decision-makers in order to make the most of legislative and regulatory developments.

As one of the largest integrated public affairs teams in France, we offer a unique combination of expertise in public affairs, providing companies, professional organisations, associations and diplomatic missions with valuable insights into their political, legal and regulatory environment. Our goal also includes developing our clients’ institutional discourse and helping them to establish and maintain a long-term dialogue with decision-makers based on trust and confidence.

We comply with the utmost ethical and transparency standards and are officially listed on the register of interest representatives to the French High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP). We are also member of the French Association of Lobbying Consultants (AFCL) and fully supports its code of ethics.

Anticipate public action

Our monitoring unit ensures constant surveillance of regulatory developments from the very source of local authorities and national governing bodies. We identify draft decisions and developments likely to impact the interests, reputation or activity of our clients at the earliest possible stage. We provide our clients with strategic recommendations tailored to the political context, the state of public opinion, institutional dynamics and the priorities of decision-makers.

Impact decisions

We bring our clients into dialogue with the right decision-makers, using our in-depth knowledge of political and institutional ecosystems. We work with ministerial cabinets, parliamentary assemblies, administrative authorities but also influential figures in business communities, with a cooperative approach developing the necessary support tools along the way (sales pitches, white papers, etc.). During the examination of legal texts, we combine technical-legal and political expertise to help our clients put forward their proposals to elected representatives, administrations and law firms.

Strategic resource mobilization

We develop dedicated processes and tools to streamline internal communication on public affairs initiatives undertaken with our clients to ensure the alignment of all stakeholders. We identify and involve stakeholders with converging interests, providing general support along the way and working in dedicated task forces when the specific objectives must be obtained.

Lobbying training

Euros / Agency Group is a certified training organization.We support our clients in the development of their internal public affairs operations and provide extended training on public affairs issues to teams in contact with elected officials and administrations. We can design and set up a public affairs department from A to Z, including talent recruitment.
