Access Partnership and Crest Hill Advisors partner to advise on fast U.S. market access and to navigate trade issues 

5 March 2026 (Washington, D.C., U.S.) – Access Partnership and Crest Hill Advisors, a leading telecommunications and energy consulting and government relations firm based in Washington, D.C., today announced a strategic partnership to offer companies end-to-end access to markets worldwide and to provide organizations with regulatory, policy, or government relations assistance in Washington. 

Together, they will advise corporates and sovereigns on the fastest routes to market, using road-tested policy tools and regulation in industries that include AI, connectivity, space, health, and energy. Both firms enjoy international recognition for shaping policy.

The partnership will draw on the experience of former senior U.S. officials from regulatory agencies, the Executive Branch, and Capitol Hill, including Ambassador Steven Lang, former U.S. Coordinator of International Communications and Information Policy at the Department of State; Peter Zimri, former ICASA Commissioner; Fernando Borjon, former CEO of Mexico’s ICT regulator, and other ex-diplomats, economists, physicians, lawyers, policy, and communication experts.  Members of the combined team have shaped AI policy across the G77, won acceptance of new standards for aeronautical safety (the ADS-B service), and obtained thousands of regulatory assets for space and defense companies worldwide.  

Dr. Peter Lovelock, Head of Consulting, Access Partnership, said, “Having access to the right U.S. decisionmakers has never been more important. This alliance provides our clients with the best and fastest route to success.”

Scott Blake Harris, Managing Partner, Crest Hill Advisors, who previously served as General Counsel of the Department of Energy, Senior Spectrum Advisor at the Department of Commerce, and was a senior official at the Federal Communications Commission, highlighted the partnership’s relevance to America’s new strategic and commercial foci. “With experts now embedded across the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, our two firms provide the one-stop shop for market access and risk mitigation that every international client expects.”
