**The Political and Regulatory Practice Area at Teneo**

Recent events have demonstrated the impact political choices have on business. The instability caused by Brexit, the response of governments to COVID-19, and ongoing economic headwinds have all significantly changed business’ operating environment for companies of all sizes and across all sectors. Political choices also influence the wider macro-economic environment, such as inflation or cost of living, meaning that the ‘political’ is a growing factor in decision-making for business leaders.
