Services

Strategy where decisions are made.

Three practices, built for operators navigating the political, regulatory and reputational terrain of the Americas. Senior-led, in-market, and scoped against outcomes rather than retainers.

01
Strategic Advisory

Market entry.
Growth strategy.
Cross-border capital.

We advise CEOs, boards and investors on where to play in Latin America, and how to win there — with a clear-eyed view of the political and regulatory terrain that shapes every return profile in the region.

We help clients anticipate challenges, unlock opportunities, and develop actionable strategies for long-term success.

From M&A diligence on political risk to multi-year market-entry playbooks, we work alongside the C-suite and alongside your legal and government affairs counsel. Our advisory work blends field intelligence, regulatory modelling and stakeholder mapping into a single, decision-ready view.

01
Market-entry strategy
Country selection, regulatory sequencing, local partnerships and the political economy of your sector.
02
Political-risk diligence
Transaction-grade assessments for M&A, greenfield investment and joint ventures.
03
Executive positioning
CEO counsel on public posture, media strategy and regional convenings.
04
Regulatory intelligence
Weekly briefings and targeted deep-dives on the legislative and regulatory agenda in your markets.
Case study — Energy, Brazil

A $1.2B data-center footprint — cleared by 2025.

Led the regulatory and stakeholder strategy for a hyperscaler's Brazilian expansion: federal sign-off, a three-state environmental package, and a reciprocal green-energy framework with the ONS.

"They read the country's politics six months ahead of our competitors. That's the entire game."

Public Affairs & Policy

Coalitions.
Advocacy.
Legislative strategy.

We translate dense policy frameworks into clear action plans — helping clients shape the rules of the game in energy, trade, digital, financial services and health.

Whether navigating regulatory shifts, stakeholder dynamics, or emerging trends, we guide organisations in shaping narratives that resonate and influence outcomes.

Public affairs is a long game played in small rooms. We build and run coalitions, brief legislators and regulators, and design the evidence that makes your position impossible to ignore — in Brasília, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Lima and Washington.

01
Legislative & regulatory advocacy
Bill-by-bill engagement, coalition-building and evidence packages designed for the room they'll be used in.
02
Coalition design
Convening unlikely allies — unions, civil society, SMEs — around a defensible policy thesis.
03
Policy research & positioning
Whitepapers, economic impact studies and third-party-ready analysis.
04
Cross-border trade & sanctions
US–LatAm trade posture, sanctions exposure and regulatory compliance architecture.
Case study — Digital, Mexico

A cross-industry coalition that shifted the fintech rulebook.

Built a fifteen-member coalition of banks, fintechs and consumer groups to reframe Mexico's open-finance secondary regulation — moving from prescriptive to principles-based rules across an 18-month engagement.

"The coalition did what no single incumbent could have done alone. That's design, not lobbying."

03
Crisis & Reputation

Prepare.
Respond.
Reposition.

We help clients manage reputational risk, shape public perception, and respond decisively when the window for action is short and ambiguity is high.

From strategic messaging to stakeholder engagement, we position you to emerge stronger — not just survive.

Our crisis desk runs a 48-hour protocol: from first call to on-the-ground counsel and a briefed CEO. We handle regulatory investigations, media-led crises, activist campaigns and post-crisis repositioning — always with a clear view of the legal, political and commercial second-order effects.

01
Pre-crisis preparedness
Risk-mapping, scenario rehearsal, spokesperson training and dark-site build.
02
Acute-phase response
48-hour activation, stakeholder triage, media posture and regulatory co-ordination.
03
Litigation-adjacent comms
Close coordination with counsel on public posture through investigation and trial.
04
Post-crisis repositioning
Narrative reset, board-level reviews and multi-year reputational recovery programs.
Case study — Extractive, Andean region

72 hours that prevented a license revocation.

Mobilised a regional response team for a client facing simultaneous community protests, a government investigation and a press storm. Stabilised within 72 hours; full operational return within six weeks.

"They arrived before our own crisis committee had finished dialling in."

04 — How we engage

Four stages.
One team.

Most engagements run 6–18 months. Crisis mandates are activated within hours. In both cases, the same four stages apply.

01

Read the room.

Field interviews, regulatory-map build, stakeholder mapping and a written point-of-view within four weeks.

02

Set the thesis.

A defined outcome, a measurable pathway and a published engagement plan — not a retainer without a thesis.

03

Run the play.

Senior-led execution, weekly partner reviews and transparent reporting against the committed outcomes.

04

Hand it back.

A closeout that leaves your in-house teams stronger than they started — tools, relationships and playbooks transferred.
