Public policy

Operating at the intersection where law, politics, policy and public perception meet, our team provides expert advice on political, media and reputational challenges.

We are retained by market leading clients across all of Pinsent Masons’ global sectors

providing a full suite of public affairs and strategic communications services

We support clients locally, nationally, regionally and globally

advising across multiple jurisdictions

Our public policy and strategic communications specialists complement the firm’s legal expertise

and work seamlessly in partnership with in-house functions

Our team has a deep understanding of Government, the media and other influencer groups, across the UK. Working closely with our Parliamentary legal team, we help clients to understand what policy developments may mean for their organisation, and how to engage in the political process to ensure that their own views are heard.

We work with clients to forge links with like-minded organisations, to create engaging, compelling policy, communication and brand marketing campaigns, and to showcase their credentials as responsible thought leaders by developing impactful corporate responsibility and community relations initiatives.

Drawing on expertise forged in leading campaigns for some of the UK's highest profile organisations, we are ideally placed to advise clients on how to work constructively with the media, and other influential third parties in order to build, protect and enhance their reputation. We also help clients prepare for and manage challenging situations where they arise, and provide close support as required during crises.
