Key Strengths
The combination of deep issue expertise, political process knowledge and communication know-how is what defines the Kreab Brussels office.
We realized some years ago that the demand for generalist PA services was fading, instead our clients demand and value expertise on policy issues and business sectors. Hence, we are today focused on a number of areas; Financial Services, Sustainability, Digital, Trade and Competition. In addition, we have a Task Force advising our clients on Brexit.
The Financial services and investment public policy team at Kreab Brussels is one of the most advanced European providers of professional services to the finance industry. The Sustainability practice provides public affairs services focused on delivering strategic advice to clients on critical, and often sensitive, policy issues. Kreab Brussels has profound technical expertise in issues across the Digital policy spectrum and understands how they impact our client’s business and interests. Our Trade practice consists of a team with several former trade and custom officials. Finally, our team is very well positioned to support clients in antitrust investigations, merger clearance and state aid cases.
