Companies in the
United States or abroad often need to deal with governments in other countries
to accomplish specific goals. At other times, they may require only developing
close relationships with government or regulatory officials. Knowledge of
the intricate relationships among countries, corporations and even families is
an essential part of developing these relationships and undertaking activities
to influence government attitudes and treatment of the company. In some
situations, the company may need a quick assessment of a particular problem area, or
require introductions at decision-making levels of government. At other times,
the company may wish to encourage a specific government decision. Simon
International can help the company accomplish these tasks.
Simon International is in constant touch with
developments in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and in
Europe that have implications for clients located outside the United States,
whether in other countries of the Americas, or in Europe or Asia. The company
monitors the top business and policy publications, maintains active membership
in select international associations, attends key policy events in the US and
abroad, and importantly, sustains a presence throughout the capitals of the
Americas and Europe.
Personal relationships with current US
officials in Washington and abroad, with Chambers of Commerce and key foreign
business, and with government and academic sectors add to the flow of
information and judgment. Simon International is part of a network of policy
level individuals, in and out of government, that provide finely targeted and
relevant information and policy advice. This information is integrated with
action plans developed according to the company’s needs.
Simon International meets with the company to
review corporate objectives and how they are affected by government positions.
Jointly, they map out a strategy with specific steps to provide information on
relevant government decisions and the regulatory environment, if applicable.
Fluid communication between Simon International and the client is maintained with adjustments
to the plan made to fit changing circumstances.
