Flint’s approach
We focus on identifying and translating political, policy and regulatory developments into new business opportunities and commercially valuable advice for effective investor and business management.
Providing key insights into digital policy developments
Our experts have unparalleled experience and networks in the field of digital regulation and are skilled in anticipating future developments. We provide strategic advice of the highest standards to clients seeking to understand and shape the policy development process.
Formulating precise engagement plans
When technology companies have disruptive business models, make investments and acquisitions, or undertake research projects they are likely to interest policymakers. We help develop comprehensive engagement strategies to generate positive outcomes that align with commercial interests.
Supporting technical submissions to regulatory bodies
Technology companies are increasingly being asked challenging questions by governments and regulators around the world, as policy makers seek to understand their services better. Our experts have first-hand experience in evidence-gathering and can provide direct support to clients as they manage the process.
Preparing clients for close public scrutiny
High-profile political and public scrutiny of technology companies’ activities is to be expected as innovation shapes economies and societies. Our insights can help clients prepare for key moments allowing them to credibly present to stakeholders, managing their reputation, and communicating their vision clearly.
A late change to an incoming prudential regime resulted in a client’s international operations being brought in scope, meaning the client would be required to hold significant additional capital. The client needed support to consider the options and make a decision about how best to mitigate the impact of this.
