We are known for our boutique offering for developing engagement both within the institutions of the European Union and beyond in EU Member States.
The starting point for our work is that our clients are the best at articulating their message, and that our role and responsibility to them is to develop strategies to allow them to best achieve this.
Since our foundation in 2000 by Alan Donnelly (the former Leader of the British Labour Party in the European Parliament), Sovereign has been using our team’s considerable hands-on experience to develop plans that deliver consistently in the most important of circumstances.Main EU files targeted
Sovereign Strategy follows developments in Brussels and the EU on behalf of our clients. Our main focus is on Financial Services, the Digital Single Market, Trade and Competition Policy.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
