Welcome
If you want to engage with government, political players or other organisations, you need good contacts and an understanding of how to approach people. You may want to put your interests on the political agenda, but what if you do not have the expertise or opportunities to make that happen? You may need advice and/or support in creating and implementing a good strategy. If so, Meines & Partners is here to help.
Putting your professional interests on the political agenda
Lobbying, Public Affairs
Meines & Partners has been a leading player in Lobbying and Public Affairs since its foundation in 1994, advising and acting for clients in the private and public sectors. We advocate your interests in government and politics, influence decision making at various levels including the legislative process, position your business in The Hague's political heart, and advise CEOs and board directors on how to engage with political decision makers.
In the hub of politics
Meines & Partners is based in The Hague, in the heart of the various ministries, the Upper House, Lower House, and the cabinet. But we are more than just physically close to the hub of politics. Our extensive network means we have regular contact with politicians, ministers, civil servants, diplomats, scientific organisations, platforms and the media.
National and international
Meines & Partners has an excellent network of national and international contacts. In Germany, we are very well connected within the Bundestag, federal states and the various political parties. Indeed, our clients are based not just in the Netherlands; they include German organisations too. We similarly attract international organisations needing to engage with Dutch politics or legislation. For such organisations, it is particularly valuable to work with a local partner who is familiar with the ins and outs of politics, and who can act fast. We are that ideal partner for many of them.
We can also help you with lobbying any issues related to Brussels. We can advocate your interests and provide you with all the contacts you need, from European Commissioners to MEPs to the Committee of Permanent Representatives, or other organisations within the European sphere.
Active in various business sectors
Meines & Partners targets the interface of politics and economics. Our experience and track record encompasses everything from telecoms to energy, from the media to ship building, from biotechnology to banking. We also cover ICT, pharmaceuticals, leisure & entertainment, infrastructure, broadcasting, construction, education and fashion. Local and regional authorities also use our services.
