Flint Global expands in Amsterdam and Brussels with Public Affairs practice of Considerati
Flint Global, a political and policy advisory firm with seven offices worldwide, has acquired the Public Affairs practice of Considerati.
The transaction sees a team of around 20 professionals based in Amsterdam and Brussels transition to Flint Global, strengthening its presence in Western Europe.
Founded in 2015, Flint Global has offices in London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore and Melbourne. The consulting firm specialises in political and regulatory advisory work, helping businesses and investors navigate the intersection of regulation, policy, competition and politics across European and global markets.
“We’ve admired Considerati for a long time. They have built an outstanding team and reputation in the Benelux, and it was clear that we shared the same values and ambition,” said Thomas Barros-Tastets, Managing Partner for Europe at Flint Global. “Together, we’re creating a platform that combines genuine local expertise with international reach, enabling us to support clients seamlessly across markets.”
Considerati is a Dutch consulting firm with two business lines: legal & compliance and public affairs – the latter launched in 2015, around seven years after Considerati was founded.
“Under the leadership of Bart Pegge, our Public Affairs business has developed into one of the leading public affairs practices in the Netherlands. In recent years, our Brussels team has also carved out a niche in the technology and healthcare sectors,” said Ton Wagemans, Founder and CEO of Considerati.
“Joining Flint Global feels like a natural next step for the public affairs team,” said Pegge, who becomes a partner at Flint Global and a member of its leadership team. “At Flint Global, we have found a partner that shares our values, commitment to clients, and ambition for growth. This gives our clients access to a broader international network and creates new opportunities for our teams.”

Following completion of the deal, Considerati will continue under its existing brand, focusing on legal and compliance services in the fields of privacy, artificial intelligence and data regulation. “We are back where it all started in 2008,” noted Wagemans. “This marks a new phase for Considerati and will allow us to focus fully on advising our clients in an increasingly complex legal and technological landscape.”
