Government Affairs, Geopolitical Advisory and Transaction Solutions at the intersection of Politics, Business and Capital Markets.

In today’s world, company leaders and investors who seek growth and value protection must have a holistic and integrated approach towards strategic development and risk management. This will help them hedge against unprecedented geopolitical risks while at the same time seizing new investment and expansion opportunities.

On the risk side, Russia’s war against Ukraine has destroyed the post-1990 peace order in Europe, whilst the new US-administration‘s policies are disrupting the international order and alliance system as much as they fuel the reshaping of global trade, business models and technological competition. The relative predictability of the autocracies versus democracies world has given way to a maximum degree of geoeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, profoundly impacting international competitive dynamics. Most governments being forced now to invest massively into creating resilience and reducing dependencies are operating under the constraints of public debt rising to new highs. Adding to the emerging global disorder and instability is what remains the critical variable as to how the forces of fragmentation, regionalization and deglobalization are unfolding, the great power competition between the U.S. and China.

At the same time, the unraveling of ESG policies in some parts of the world and the persistent pressures to decarbonize in others create unlevel playing fields and uncertainty. Increasing cyber threats, fake news, and ongoing requirements to digitize and innovate add to the host of new challenges CEOs and boards are having to deal with in their business models, strategies, transaction planning, investments, and communications.

However, despite this bleak backdrop for international business and investing, opportunities arise from new geoeconomic competition, a more sovereign Europe, game-changing technological advances, the ongoing transformation towards sustainability, and the billions of public funding now available for clean energy, digitization, modernization of the military and infrastructure. For businesses to thrive in this environment, the combination of increased agility and targeted strategic positioning supported by a maximum degree of political visibility are key to success.
