We provide our Australian clients with results-driven public relations services, aiming to build partnerships with US federal, state, and local governments through insight-driven strategies and decades of experience to boost business opportunities.

We also offer probity advice and consulting services, working alongside community organisations to meet governance, operational, and funding requirements. Our team of policy and research advisors has extensive experience engaging with government to achieve favourable outcomes for our clients.
Environmental Social Governance (ESG)
With the growing expectation of mandatory disclosure, particularly around climate change financial risks, there is increasing interest in voluntary action by global investors and superannuation funds on environmental issues, supported by initiatives like the UN-led Net Zero Banking Alliance and the Net Zero Asset Manager’s Initiative.
ESG spans a wide range of issues, including climate change, human rights, anti-bribery, cyber security, and transparency.
At BLC, we go beyond domestic law when advising corporate clients, considering the highest value of an investment or portfolio. We can assist in establishing an ESG policy and identifying any gaps in your organisation.
