FTI Consulting

This article is part of the Lobbying Portal, a sunlight project from Spinwatch.

FTI Consulting is a global business advisory firm. In 2006 it took over Financial Dynamics (also known as FD) a leading financial and corporate PR and lobbying firm with offices in Europe, the US, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa. FTI now offers lobbying services under its name.

Revolving door

In October 2010 former Foreign Office minister Lord Mark Malloch Brown joined FTI Consulting as chairman for global affairs. Four months before that FTI had hired Vicky Pryce – formerly a senior civil servant at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) – as a senior managing director in its economic consulting team, advising companies on issues including public policy.
