Often, complex government interfaces can prove to be a dampener even for the best of businesses, leading to disruption in operations and other challenges. Hence, an expert hand is sometimes key to navigating these difficult paths. The First Partners’ Advocacy and Public Affairs service is intended to simplify and facilitate public-private alignment and enable useful dialogue between the two parties.

Senior counsellors at First Partners can help structure public policy programmes and assist in navigating through the maze of regulations. This results in reducing legislative and regulatory pressures on a business, along with a thorough understanding of the overall business environment.

We have extensive experience in advocacy across sectors and genres. The team particularly specialises in healthcare and environment sectors, and has also done impactful work in infrastructure, aviation and social verticals. Our senior advocacy experts have been involved in decision-making roles in the government and have decades of high-quality experience in mega projects and complex audience management techniques.

Our services in this area include:

• Public opinion research
• Public support programmes
• Public policy advocacy
• Government dialogue
• Opinion leaders' enrolment
• Regulatory issues advisory
