We advise on how to engage throughout the policy-making and legislative process.

We provide clients with advice on shaping the policy agenda to support their aims.

This includes lobbying around policy content; policy reviews; consultations and the passage of legislation through Parliament, the devolved administrations, and intergovernmental organs such as the EAC, AU, EU, and UNSC.

This support relies on a forensic understanding of the processes and stages that policy passes through and the opportunities they present for influence.

Politics and media are interlinked and increasingly politicians are aware of the impact they have on individuals, organizations, and even governments – from what they say, as much as what they do. The arena of politics and campaigns now extends across the digital landscape of search engines, blogs and social media.

We work closely with individuals, organizations and governments to develop a support pool – that can be drawn upon when required to promote and protect their reputation – and the tools to ensure they engage through social platforms as much as traditional channels.

At Dean & Tripp we also develop our clients’ status as thought leaders on issues relevant to their sector by generating content that can be used by media and digital teams. Through this work we add real value to broader reputation and brand positioning exercises.

We advise on how to deliver integrated campaigns that influence the political agenda.

Campaigns are most effective when there is an integrated approach to delivery. Strategies that draw on all disciplines from traditional political lobbying to the use of digital and wider public relations, often drive far greater results than single discipline approaches.

We work on integrated high profile thought leadership campaigns to those that deliver behavioural change. All involve engaging content delivered through multiple assets, tailored to the audience.

Dean & Tripp knows that for a client’s cause or campaign to make an impact in today’s world, drawing on both traditional and digital methods will allow our clients to stand out from the crowd and meet their commercial and/or political objectives.

We can help you understand the impact and risk that policy can have on the value of your investments.

Whether it is in relation to taxation, funding streams, labour market rules and conditions, enforcement by agencies, or sector-specific regulations, an entire range of factors in the political sphere can have an impact on the value of an asset.

Investment community demand for political due diligence has grown, reflecting the desire to understand the extent to which assets and investments are exposed to political risk.

We advise investors and can conduct political due diligence for projects and prospective investments.
