THE FIPRA NETWORK

Founded in 2000, Fipra - Finsbury International Policy & Regulatory Advisers – is today, Europe’s leading and most extensive public affairs consultancy network advising clients on a range of government relations and regulatory policy issues. Over the last 13 years, Fipra has expanded across the globe and now operates in over 50 countries both in Europe and Internationally.

In Europe, Fipra is the only consultancy with top level public affairs advisers not only in Brussels, but throughout the Member States of the European Union. In addition, Fipra has experienced public affairs advisers in a number of European Economic Area Countries and EU candidate countries, as well as many of the EU’s neighbouring countries.

Fipra is known both for the seniority and expertise of its staff and for getting results. Many of Fipra’s staff and Special Advisers have personal experience of having served national governments, parliaments and regulatory bodies, or have held senior positions in industry, trade associations, or consumer organisations. All of them are experts in the political and regulatory process, not least because they have experienced them from many different perspectives at first hand.

The Fipra network is run and co-ordinated by Fipra International Ltd, which is also responsible for licensing the Fipra brand and for the group’s marketing and sales.
