Government
Relations

Government and elected officials are increasingly crucial stakeholders for many organisations – whether they constitute a customer, regulator, influencer or interested observer.

However, engaging with government can be fraught, and stepping into the world of politicians or the departmental bureaucrats and bodies that advise them, ought not be done blithely.

Unsurprisingly, successful government relations can be complex especially if you’re advocating for change. That said, at Wilkinson Butler, we distil government relations down to simple principles of sound public policy, transparency, alignment with government priorities, and striving for community benefit.
