government and policy

Marland Sykes can help you succeed in complex political, policy and regulatory environments.  We’ll advise you on achieving favourable regulatory outcomes, promoting better policy, influencing legislation, responding to consultations, appearing in front of select committees and building the political support needed to deliver business objectives.

Marland Sykes is experienced in creating and developing campaigns and can operate at all stages from strategy to execution. We can help you develop your campaign strategy, build your evidence base, develop policy, build personal and issues platforms, develop key messaging and communication materials, and gain support through coalition building and outreach.

Underpinning this is a fundamental understanding of the law-making process and the subtleties of advocacy. Combining both public affairs and legal expertise, we understand how ideas are shaped into policy, how policy becomes embedded into legislation and regulation, and how and when laws may need to be reviewed and built upon. Without this insight many players get the timing for engagement wrong. And in the public policy process, timing is everything.
