Business challenges don't observe neat boundaries. Neither do we.
From the courtroom to the court of public opinion, Bracewell & Giuliani's Public Issues Management (PIM) Group helps businesses succeed when business issues intersect with government, media, public perception and the law by integrating advocacy strategies with sound legal advice.
What sets the PIM Group apart from public affairs firms is that our team includes attorneys, business strategists, communications and government relations professionals. What that means to you is a turnkey solution that integrates services often delivered by multiple firms.
We assemble the right team of professionals to meet your specific needs. By developing deliberate approaches to the public issues that shape your business environment, we then deliver a coherent strategy with seamless execution.
Issues Management
We provide thoughtful, organized and strategic planning regarding issues and crisis management. We advise clients on developing the people, programs and processes necessary for effective public issues management, including the integration of legal counsel, investor relations, media relations, regulatory compliance, government relations, public affairs and corporate citizenship.
Issues Campaigns
Every issue doesn't end up at the ballot box. Whether the issues are local, regional, or industry-specific, we develop and manage coalitions to address the policy, media and public perception aspects of your issue. We develop and implement key external initiatives that incorporate government relations and public affairs, media relations, web/interactive strategy, stakeholder engagement, legal and regulatory counsel, and coalition development and management.
Assessing Your Business Environment
Your ability to make business sense of the world you're living in often means the difference between success and failure. From the understanding of stakeholder culture to the flow of information regarding issues important to your business, a good leader must have the ability to put intelligence into context. We provide boards of directors and senior management with advice on public issues impacting their businesses. We deliver key data, including polling, stakeholder interviews, media analysis, economic impact analysis, and legal and regulatory considerations to help businesses anticipate challenges, take advantage of opportunities, and integrate them into overall business strategies.
The PIM Group is additionally supported by our Government Relations and Strategic Communications practices in both Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas.
