Using International Lobbying Firms To Succeed

By Ruthie Livingston


When facing government allies or foes, politicians often need help. They turn to various international lobbying firms, or just domestic ones, to assist in pleading their causes. They have a variety of top-notch companies with reputations in various fields. They need to select one with experience in their area of interest first and foremost.

Politicians have varying degrees of influence in their realm reflecting their track records and time in office. They enjoy vast influence in many cases as they rise through the ranks. They can use lobbyists to further a program in the public eye or with Congress for the purposes of legislation. This ploy gives them additional power to achieve their many goals.

Lobbying doesn't have to be a negative term denoting people who go on endlessly about something without rhyme or reason - kind of like a political nuisance. It is more focused than that and very targeted and often noble in purpose. They are important sources of information about subjects that can be buried under the rug and ignored by the press. Or they can help turn the tide of opinion about an unpopular subject. It pays to avail oneself of their service when in need.

Connections are the core of the lobbyists' power - as well as that of the initiating politician. Politicians and lobbyists are partners in their efforts to achieve goals. Thus, a lobbying firm must be carefully chosen to meet prevailing needs. It is odd that lobbying is often seen as a derogatory word, when in fact in depends on the issue in question. It denotes undue influence by people who are peripheral to the topic. It implies distorting the truth to achieve an end. But this is not so. Rather, it is a reputable field that helps shed light on an issue.

It is all about gaining government support for a cause or issue. This type of work seems to get the most publicity. The top firms will stand out in the press, making it easier for companies and politicians to make their own selection. They will look for the right skills and perhaps international scope if it is relevant.

Lobbying firms provide multiple services to match all variety of needs of persons or entities seeking government support. They must present the case well and represent the right values. Sometimes legislators are faced with unknown entities or a choice between equals. Lobbyists provide insight and information. If the issue has breadth and applies to people outside the US, an international lobbying entity is most desirable. You will select the most appropriate people who are well-versed in all aspects of the cause.

It is difficult to anticipate results and you must rely on a combination of instincts and good judgment. There is no replacement for the right skills. Results are best attained with experience, as in any field. You want to put the odds on your side.

Thus background and experience must be weighed and assessed any way you can. Length of time in the lobbying field is mandatory to guarantee best results. An interest in the issue at hand follows suit. It comes down to a combination of qualifications to make the best and wisest choice.
