For many sovereign nations and entities, carefully monitoring developments and attempting to shape U.S. foreign policy can be central to the political, economic and policy successes of their government or political constituencies. Even in regions critical to U.S. foreign policy interests, it can be difficult to penetrate the domestic pressures on U.S. congressional leaders and appointed officials. And for private companies, today's global economy offers opportunities for investment that often involve numerous issues: US government support, in-country political and legal counsel, financing needs, and general political risk assessment. The Livingston Group can translate U.S. political dynamics and institutional roles, help assess and prioritize diplomatic or investment goals and garner the attention of key U.S. leaders by relating important international viewpoints in a manner that attracts support. We proudly provide counsel to several nations, non-governmental organizations and companies. We serve as a Washington presence for several clients who do not have offices in the nation’s capital.
