In Europe and Eurasia, McLarty Associates assists companies in sectors as diverse as retail, defense, telecommunications, and finance with issues requiring work in both Brussels with the European Union and in European and Eurasian national capitals. Associates in Washington and New York, combined with frequent travel to the region, allow our team to address clients’ transatlantic issues from multiple bases and angles.

For example, we have helped facilitate companies’ entry into the Russian market, assisted an internet company in addressing sensitive regulatory issues in Germany and Turkey, helped an electronic financial services provider develop government relations strategies in Eastern Europe, and worked with a life sciences company to develop an integrated approach to EU/member state regulatory affairs.
