About us
We work at the intersection of public policy, politics, industry and the media, supporting clients to manage risk and seize opportunity.
We enable better public policy outcomes
Bantham Advisory was founded to provide clients with the best advice, utilising evidence-based insights informed by decades of combined experience working at the intersection of policy, politics and the media.
We provide advice and support to businesses and organisations helping them navigate policy and communications challenges in an ever more politicised setting.
We are boutique by design and care like we’re in-house. We tailor our services to provide you with the bandwidth and perspective you need from an external counsel.
We work across all of the nations and regions of the UK and Ireland.
