Our Experts

Success in government relations takes more than understanding politics—it takes people who know your sector inside and out.

Our network of external advisors includes former government officials, regulatory experts, industry leaders, and advocacy veterans. They’ve drafted policy, shaped regulation, led negotiations, and built coalitions—in-the-field experience our clients draw on to solve problems and seize opportunities.

Five people standing behind a desk at a formal event, smiling, with a large screen behind them displaying text that says 'THE MARKET IS CLOSED,' date May 13, 2025, and information about LGBTQ+ corporate directors Canada. The event appears to be a recognition or awareness event for LGBTQ+ corporate directors.
