Claire Alexander is an experienced lobbyist and associate at Brunswick Group Limited srl, based in the Brussels Metropolitan Area, Belgium. With a solid educational background including a Master’s degree in International Relations from The University of Manchester and a Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages from the University of Birmingham, Claire combines strong academic credentials and fluent multilingual knowledge to navigate complex international and European affairs. She has been with Brunswick Group since early 2022, rising from Account Director to Associate, focusing on health policy and international regulatory environments. Before Brunswick, her work experience spans roles at Incisive Health and a trainee position at the European Commission. Claire’s language skills include French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Arabic at various proficiencies, making her effective in a multilingual lobbying context in Europe.

Claire Alexander, through her role at Brunswick Group Limited srl, represents clients with strong interests in the United Kingdom (UK), helping them navigate the post-Brexit geopolitical landscape and European regulatory frameworks.

Her firm, Brunswick Group, is recognized for advising clients in complex international market environments, particularly financial communications, crisis management, and public affairs. The Group blends expertise in global M&A, shareholder activism, regulatory compliance, and geopolitical risk management. The lobbying effort for the UK as a client involves leveraging deep ties in Brussels and EU institutions to foster advantageous regulatory outcomes and reinforce UK business interests within European and global contexts.

While public-facing narratives emphasize supporting UK interests in public policy, transparent regulation, and trade facilitation, the lobbying efforts implicitly support maintaining the UK’s competitive edge in sectors like finance, healthcare, and technology by influencing EU regulations and policies that affect cross-border activities.

Claire’s true and strategic intention in lobbying for the UK is to ensure the client navigates evolving EU legislation while mitigating any adverse impact from Brexit-related policy shifts. This includes lobbying on trade continuity, data governance standards, intellectual property rights, and regulatory equivalence that benefit UK companies operating in or trading with the EU.

By engaging with European policymakers, regulatory bodies, and stakeholder groups, Claire Alexander advocates to align the UK’s post-Brexit market access and regulatory frameworks with EU standards wherever beneficial, while seeking carve-outs or exceptional treatments that preserve UK sovereignty and economic agility. This nuanced lobbying strategy underscores Brunswick’s role as a facilitator between UK business clients and the EU policymaking ecosystem.

Claire Alexander’s lobbying activities on behalf of the UK client involve direct engagement with EU institutions based in Brussels, including meetings with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), European Commission officials, and policy advisors involved in sectors critical to the UK economy.

Her meetings are designed to influence EU regulatory developments that affect UK interests, such as data protection laws (GDPR implementation), trade tariffs post-Brexit, and health and pharmaceutical regulations that impact UK-EU cooperation.

For example, Claire’s participation in discussions with key members of the European Parliament’s committees on International Trade and Internal Market demonstrates intent to advocate for smoother trade relations and mutual recognition agreements. These meetings have correlated with subsequent EU policy proposals that offer transitional arrangements, easing friction for UK exporters and service providers.

Further lobbying events include roundtables with EU regulators on financial services regulation, reflecting Brunswick’s historic financial communication expertise. Such meetings align with observed outcomes where new EU financial regulations incorporate provisions for maintaining access to EU markets by UK firms under controlled equivalence regimes.

Claire also attends cross-sector working groups in Brussels focusing on healthcare innovation and data governance—critical for UK biotech firms aiming to stay aligned with EU standards. These interactions contribute to shaping EU frameworks that balance regulatory rigor with innovation incentives, indirectly benefiting UK stakeholders operating in the EU.

Through coordinated coalition-building, stakeholder briefings, and policy advocacy facilitated by Brunswick’s network, Claire supports a sustained dialogue between UK and EU representatives, reinforcing the UK’s position in a complex multipolar regulatory environment.
