Lobbying &
Representation of Interests

Politics and public opinion tend to be very unsteady, as they must take into account the interests of very different groups of society, as well as competitors. An opinion that prevails for one moment can be rejected after a few months. Laws, regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers, or regulations governing the industry can change very quickly because of pressure from interest groups and society.

In the current dynamic environment, the risks of political and legislative pressures cannot be ignored. However, our team of professionals can help you anticipate and mitigate these risks, and even steer them in a favourable direction. We specialize in lobbying and interest representation, which not only provide protection but also influence legislative decisions and state administration in the best interest of our clients. Our approach enables us to minimize potential losses and secure positive outcomes.

When it comes to lobbying and representation of interests, identifying the main influence groups in the decision-making process, understanding their true interests, and being able to defend them is crucial. What really matters is the result, not the process itself.

The key to successful lobbying and representation of interests lies in selecting the right strategy to achieve your goals and partnering with the right allies to implement it. Our team can assist you in navigating the complex landscape of politics and decision-making to achieve the results you desire.

Protect your business or industry from political instability, unexpected changes in legislation, and harmful competitor initiatives with a well-designed lobbying strategy. The ultimate objective is to drive positive political initiatives and legislative changes for your industry, develop constructive regulatory norms, and secure greater immunity from competitors’ legislative activities. Our lobbying strategy is built on developing productive relationships with legislators, regulatory norms developers, and other interest representative organizations.

Our lobbying activities aim to create a supportive environment that protects and respects our clients’ interests. We work towards persuading responsible representatives of the government, parliament, municipality, and administrative institutions to accept well-reasoned and supportive decisions.

If you want to strengthen your industry, organize your business environment, make significant investments, expand your market share, start a new business, or introduce new services that require political support or the adoption of new regulatory acts, we can help. On the other hand, if you face unreasonable opposition, inexplicable adoption of regulations, harmful legislative initiatives, lack of political support, or even unwarranted smears, we are here to help.

Our lobbying services offer a range of strategies, from direct lobbying to grassroots efforts, and even lobbying through elections. We tailor our approach to the specific goals of our clients.

It’s important to note that lobbying is now regulated in Latvia, following the example of the European Union. The Law on Disclosure of Interest Representation came into effect on January 1, 2023. This law defines interest representation as any communication between a private individual and a representative of a public authority with the intent of influencing a public decision. Our team ensures that all lobbying campaigns are fully compliant with the law and done to best practices, allowing us to build strong, lasting relationships with representatives of state authorities.

Participating in talk festivals is an effective way to communicate your political vision and connect with a diverse audience. However, with the increasing number of participants fighting for attention, it is crucial to stand out and make an impact. Our team of experts can help you develop a creative and engaging strategy to captivate your audience and integrate your message seamlessly into the overall political climate of the festival. Let us help you leave a lasting impression and build a strong connection with your audience.
