Hilary Hudson to lead Access Partnership Brussels, strengthening EU Policy Advisory

4 September, 2025 (Brussels, Belgium) – Access Partnership today announced Hilary Hudson as Director of Client Services, EU, to lead the Brussels office’s strategic, political and government EU policy advisory, and to help clients achieve their goals faster.

Hilary joins Access Partnership following a 17-year tenure at FIPRA International advising Fortune 100 and 500 companies, trade associations, and governing bodies.

At Access Partnership, Hilary will help companies navigate the regulatory and policy environment to expand their business and achieve their goals. She is passionate about helping companies engage in the EU policy debate to shape future legislation for responsible and innovative technology.

Previously, she worked for a Member of the European Parliament, covering issues in the Constitutional Affairs Committee in Brussels, and served in Westminster, UK, for both Labour and Conservative Members of Parliament.

With a law degree Hilary brings a lawyer’s intellect and analytical mind to client work. The Erasmus exchange she completed in European Legal Studies at the Katholic University of Leuven in Belgium expanded her perspective and inspired her work in European public affairs.

“It’s a privilege to join the Access Partnership team at this key moment of fast growth for the business and our EU offering to our global clients. Given current world events, the EU needs to listen to the voices of innovative, responsible, and forward-thinking companies that can bring competitiveness back to the Union. The client roster at Access Partnership is particularly attractive as the work we do to advance humanity aligns with my personal values.”

With a presence in DC, London, throughout Asia, and an increased footprint in Brussels we are more able than ever before to serve our clients’ need for global government affairs advice and influence.”
