No one knows how many active lobbyists there are in Latvia. Often lobbying activities are carried out by lawyers, associations, federations, all kinds of unions, public organisations and PR agencies. Although there is no lobbying industry to speak of in Latvia, there are many professionals who have the competency to carry lobbying activities. They know the decision-making process inside out. They are also masters in providing convincing arguments and writing appropriate reports to sway public opinion in their favour, often by using the media to their advantage.
