Balancing government relations advice from a consulting firm with legal advice from a law firm can be time consuming and conflicting. At Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC), our Public Policy Group provides government relations counsel that is coordinated with a complete range of legal services. We bring the discipline of advocacy to our clients’ dealings with governments. With seasoned government relations partners, we understand the political process intimately—at national, regional and local levels. Several of our professionals are registered under relevant lobbying legislation, while others have worked in government and have advised government agencies. Our team also brings together individuals with expertise in public policy and public sector management and governance, as well as experience working with not-for-profit organizations in strategic planning and implementation.

Knowing why and how decisions are made, and who is making them, is key to conducting effective government relations. At FMC, we maintain extensive contact with officials and elected representatives at municipal, provincial and federal levels, and we know their requirements, processes and procedures. Combined with our significant experience in a variety of different regulated industries, we provide our clients strategic and focused advice that enables them to achieve their business or organizational goals today, while positioning them for continued success in the future.

With a proven track record of achieving success for our clients in a wide range of sectors, we pride ourselves on our professionalism, results-oriented approach and attention to detail.
