Government Representation & Origin-Recognition Engagements

Contact Us

B Archetype is currently accepting a limited number of government representation, public-policy advocacy, and origin-recognition engagements connecting African priorities with U.S. government, institutional, and commercial stakeholders.

As a boutique firm, we accept engagements in which senior leadership can remain directly involved in strategy, positioning, and execution. Every prospective client undergoes an initial conflict, compliance, and readiness assessment before representation begins.

B Archetype welcomes inquiries from:

  • National and subnational governments

  • Ministries, departments, and public agencies

  • Embassies and diplomatic missions

  • Investment-promotion and export-development authorities

We are currently considering government engagements involving:

  • Bipartisan legislative and executive-branch engagement

  • Diplomatic and public-policy advocacy

  • U.S.-Africa trade and investment priorities

  • Congressional and federal-agency outreach

  • Strategic positioning of national or subnational development priorities

  • Public-private partnership development

Where legal protection is required, we coordinate with qualified counsel to help clients pursue the appropriate certification mark, collective mark, trademark, Geographical Indication, or other origin-protection pathway.
