Bernstein Group consists of three partner-managed consulting boutiques that specialise in communications services for special situations, complex political decision-making processes, and regulatory issues. We provide individual, customised solutions from our offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Brussels.
We advise national and international companies, investors, start-ups, and institutions on how to deal with the media and politics, working for our clients in an environment of dynamic processes, divergent interests, and complex issues every day.
We bring a high level of personal commitment to our work and operate in close partnership with our clients, supporting and guiding them through complex decision-making processes. Our strategic advice is based on experience and expertise, as well as the trust that we have earned in the political arena and the media.
With our intimate knowledge of politics, business, and the media, we perform the role of translators between these systems. We understand the power of presenting the stronger argument. We offer non-partisan, comprehensive, and independent consulting services in public affairs and communication. We work for our clients at the municipal and provincial level just as effectively as on the national level and in the arena of European institutions.Main EU files targeted
