Hence, we are today focused on a number of areas; Financial Services, Sustainability, Digital, Trade and Competition. In addition, we have a strong team advising on Global policy risk, including investment and sanctions.
The Financial services team at Kreab Brussels is one of the most advanced European providers of professional services to the finance industry. The Sustainability practice provides public affairs services focused on delivering strategic advice to clients on critical, and often sensitive, policy issues. This practice has grown as the European Green Deal has been a top priority for the EU. Kreab Brussels has profound technical expertise in issues across the Digital policy spectrum and understands how they impact our client’s business and interests.
