Dentons, the world’s leading global law firm, has launched 3D Global Affairs, a comprehensive communications, political, and legal suite offering, as part of an alliance with Definers Public Affairs, a strategic communications and research-consulting firm based in Washington, D.C.

This new offering is designed to afford clients a holistic, nimble, and coordinated response to crisis and opportunity alike by removing the silos that exist between traditional communications, legal, and political operations.
3D Global Affairs will provide clients a unique one-stop-shop offering, including:
- legal teams for any issue;
- governmental relations and lobbying support to shape the environment;
- communications and rapid response professionals to direct the narrative;
- digital strategy and advertising;
- data analytics to gain insights;
- campaign-style opposition research to see the angles and form the content to fuel communications narratives;
- political intelligence to inform decisions;
- critical infrastructure to bring all the teams together to share important information;
- regulatory reform advisors;
- global reach to shape public affairs debates around the world.
Dentons’ bipartisan Public Policy practice encompasses government affairs and advocacy lawyers and professionals in Washington, D.C. and across the United States. The practice includes a robust federal, state, and local advocacy program; the nation’s largest bipartisan Attorneys General practice; a diplomatic solutions program; a local government solutions program; and Dentons 50, a full-service, 50-state public policy network offering unrivaled access to state capitols. It is coupled with the Firm’s leading Federal Regulatory and Compliance practice that includes lawyers and professionals around the world who navigate the critical intersection of business, law, regulation, policy and politics.
Eric Tanenblatt, who chairs Dentons’ Public Policy practice told us “Joining Dentons’ public policy and advocacy talent with Definers’ battle-tested political and messaging professionals raises the bar for client service in the United States. We’re always looking for ways to expand our client offerings, much as we did in launching the nation’s first 50-state government affairs program with Dentons 50.”
