GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
In our experience, majority of the companies do not need to lobby from the start. However, once a certain level of growth is achieved, it usually becomes appropriate to start lobbying. Typically, the following would justify the appropriateness or sometimes the necessity of lobbying: certain causes and potential opportunities arising from the activity of the Company; its position which is not (sufficiently) favourable or too neutral in terms of the sectoral policy; its undesirable involvement in certain issues; changes in the market or in the regulatory environment; changes in the business and the financial volume resulting from the Company’s growth; or simply the need to maintain or enhance the Company’s growth.
NÉMETH GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Being a private advisory firm working with a unique aspect as regards the domestic side, Németh Government Relations was founded in 2011 specialising in public affairs (principally government relations) activities representing the Anglo-Saxon lobby line. It performs its activities building upon a greatly tight and confidential advisor-client cooperation through understanding the link between the companies’ internal
operation and the economy, politics, society and media, while its services
usually go beyond external counselling in the classical sense.
The professional experience of the advisory firm and its employees extends to energy industry, military industry, tobacco industry, transport, information technology, logistics, agriculture, pharmaceutical industry,
state and municipal administration as well as the non-profit sector.
