Ms Lisa KEUPER

Ms Lisa Keuper is a prominent lobbyist associated with Flint Europe, a respected lobbying firm headquartered in London. She holds the position of Director at Flint Global, the parent entity behind Flint Europe. Armed with a Master’s degree in European Governance from Utrecht University and a European Studies background from Maastricht, Ms Keuper brings a strong academic foundation combined with extensive experience in EU public policy and regulatory affairs. She is fluent in German and English, reflecting a versatile skill set crucial for navigating complex European political environments. Prior to Flint, she held senior roles such as Deputy Head of Office and EU Regulatory and Public Affairs Adviser at Deutsche Bausparkassen. Her expertise encompasses advising multinational businesses and investors on regulatory, political, and policy challenges within European and global markets

As a director at Flint Europe, Ms Keuper is deeply involved in advocating for clients aligned with British economic and political interests within the EU framework. Flint Europe advises a sophisticated portfolio of clients, often multinational corporations and leading financial institutions, to advance their interests, particularly focusing on trade, investment, financial services, and regulatory policies tied to the UK. Her lobbying work reflects a strategic intention to maintain and enhance the UK’s influence, market access, and economic partnerships in the post-Brexit landscape.

Given Flint’s strong London base and its network spanning Brussels and other European capitals, Ms Keuper acts as a bridge facilitating dialogue between UK stakeholders and EU institutions. By promoting regulatory clarity, trade facilitation, and financial services market access, her lobbying efforts aim to safeguard the UK’s competitive position in Europe. This includes navigating EU policy changes on competition, sustainable finance, and investment strategy, ensuring they align favorably with UK interests.

Behind the apparent advocacy, there is a nuanced agenda to counterbalance the UK’s diminished direct influence post-Brexit by fostering positive bilateral and multilateral relations and ensuring UK policies remain influential in European markets. This hidden dimension of her lobbying is centered on shaping EU regulations in ways that accommodate UK companies, encourage transatlantic cooperation, and promote open markets benefiting British industry and investors

Ms Keuper’s lobbying activities are comprehensive, engaging with high-level EU policymakers to shape outcomes relevant to UK economic interests. Representing Flint Europe, she regularly participates in meetings and consultations with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), Commissioners, and senior Commission officials. These sessions address EU financial regulatory frameworks, trade policies, digital and technology sector regulations, and sustainable investment standards.

Notable activities include contributing expert insights during policy discussions that influenced EU rules on securitisation and financial product governance—a core area where UK firms seek alignment with EU standards to retain cross-border operational ease. She has also been involved in dialogues around ESG criteria and trade relations that indirectly support UK companies operating within European markets.

Her presence in Brussels is strategic, attending stakeholder forums that discuss the EU’s evolving trade and investment policies, including the critical Stage I and II regulatory phases impacting UK firms’ market access. Additionally, Flint Europe’s network leverages its Brussels office to organize briefings and roundtables that influence policy formulation, often inviting UK political advisers and European officials to foster mutual understanding and cooperation.

The outcomes of these efforts manifest in more pragmatic and adaptive EU policies that consider UK interests—evidenced by policy adjustments on trade facilitation and financial regulation accommodating UK stakeholder concerns. Flint Europe’s engagement under Ms Keuper’s direction thus not only advocates for clients but subtly steers the broader EU-UK economic relationship towards stability and growth
