Foreign Relations

Expertise and Experience

Foreign governments, multi-national corporations and high profile individuals in foreign nations all need representation in Washington. Cassidy & Associates has successfully developed and implemented government relations and commercial diplomacy initiatives on behalf of our clients for thirty-five years.

Our team helps international clients communicate their public policy and business goals to key audiences, including Congress, the White House, U.S. federal agencies and other stakeholders. We also represent the overseas interests of U.S. entities before foreign governments and businesses.

Earning Your Trust

Our team works with you to gain a deep understanding of your concerns and objectives. We seek to develop a mutual level of trust that will facilitate the candor necessary for us both to be successful. Our sensitivity and discretion is evidenced by relationships which have continued for years.

Strategic plans are best made in consideration of the full scope of your concerns and interests prior to the pursuit of economic, diplomatic, security and international policy initiatives. This will allow our team to foster the most advantageous policy and commercial outcomes for your situation.

Such efforts are not solely aimed at legislators and government regulators, but also interest groups, think tanks, NGOs and the media.

Comprehensive Bi-lateral Engagements

We have been engaged by a number of foreign nations that require comprehensive United States federal government relations and public affairs outreach.

Our experience with the various agencies of the U.S. Executive Branch, the U.S. Congress, and other important third party entities with interest in and relevance to the issues at hand enables us to accomplish concrete progress on complex international initiatives. We are an aggressive and effective advocate for establishing, expanding, and highlighting substantive exchanges on the many issues where your interests intersect with those of the U.S. government.

We work closely with you to augment consular efforts and create fertile ground for substantive progress toward a strong comprehensive partnership with the U.S. government.

These activities all require appropriate sensitivity toward political environments in both the home country and the U.S., so that progress can be made without creating undue challenges with domestic audiences.

Overseas Political Consulting

Cassidy & Associates consults for overseas political campaigns and works with parties and candidates to organize messaging and information dissemination strategies to effectively communicate a visionary platform to the people.

We view our role through your eyes taking into account political realities. Our team sits with you to understand the key issues of your campaign, analyze the history of voting patterns and turnout, review the necessary voter coalitions and communities to be targeted for success at the polls, investigate how campaigns are normally conducted, and introduce the appropriate technological and/or campaign technique innovations to boost voter turnout.

We also work with international media outlets to inform interested audiences about campaign activities and important updates on the road to election day.

Messaging and Digital Strategies

In addition to our government relations outreach efforts, we are often engaged by international clients to launch a strategic communications initiative to reinforce our outreach to government officials and non-governmental leaders.

Our team devises and implements a targeted, detailed strategy to spread and promote a positive, accurate image through various forms of media – both traditional and increasingly through new media tactics strategized by our dedicated digital team.

Broad Resources and Reach

In a typical engagement, we utilize public outreach, political monitoring, intelligence gathering, campaign consulting, strategic counsel, and issue management to help you achieve your goals.

We draw on members of our professional staff who are experts in the areas of importance to your issues whether they be national security, energy, corporate relations, strategic communications, or other areas where additional resources are required. Our team can conduct outreach in several countries or jurisdictions simultaneously, depending on client needs.

The international team looks forward to speaking with you about how we can help you in your foreign relations needs.
