Public Policy

At VA Partners, we advise government agencies, regulators, and private-sector organisations on the design, evaluation, and communication of public policy. Our practice integrates legal, economic, and strategic perspectives to deliver evidence-based solutions that promote effective governance, market efficiency, and public trust.

As a boutique firm at the intersection of law, economics, and regulation, we combine analytical depth with practical insight to address complex policy challenges. Our team works across all stages of the policy cycle — from agenda-setting and policy design to implementation and post-evaluation — ensuring that every recommendation is supported by empirical evidence and aligned with broader social and economic objectives.

VA Partners has extensive experience in supporting ministries, regulators, and international organisations in the development of policy frameworks across competition, digital economy, energy, trade, and consumer protection. Our goal is to help institutions craft policies that are not only compliant and technically sound, but also economically rational and publicly defensible.
