About Ora Partners
Ora Partners is a strategic advisory firm based between Paris and Brussels, working at the intersection of institutional power, commodity markets, defence and finance. It runs on a consortium model: rather than a fixed internal team, senior experts are assembled for each engagement.
Public affairs & institutional relations
Support for companies, associations and federations in their interactions with French and European public decision-makers, along five axes: influence on emerging legislation and regulation, visibility with decision-makers, market entry for foreign companies, crisis management during parliamentary inquiries or public controversies, and coalitions with think tanks, professional federations and NGOs.
The operational levers are concrete: real-time monitoring of parliamentary proceedings and specialised press, stakeholder mapping, production of position papers and amendment proposals, prepared institutional meetings, and representation at sectoral events.
Engagements are run in line with the Sapin II law, and the firm supports clients with registration on the HATVP register and the EU Transparency Register.
