The Acquisition is immediately earnings accretive. Founded more than two decades ago, The Advocacy Partners has built one of the deepest bipartisan relationship networks in Tallahassee and a recurring, blue-chip client base spanning many of the most regulated sectors of the U.S. economy.

Acquisition Highlights

  • The Advocacy Partners advises a blue-chip roster of corporates, trade associations and institutional clients on legislative, regulatory, procurement and executive-branch matters across the State of Florida.
  • Immediately earnings-accretive acquisition that establishes PPHC’s position in Florida, one of the fastest growing U.S. states, the fourth largest state economy in the U.S., and an economy that, if measured as a sovereign nation, would rank among the top 15 globally.
  • Significantly builds on PPHC’s coast-to-coast, market-leading state lobbying network purpose-built for a policy and communications environment in which critical decisions are increasingly moving from Washington to the state level.
  • Backed by a track record of consistent revenue growth, sector expansion, and high client retention over more than two decades, underscoring the durability of the franchise and the strength of the relationships on which it is built.
  • Slater Bayliss and Stephen Shiver will continue to lead TAP, which will retain its brand, its full team of professionals, and the operating culture that has defined its success.
  • For the year ended 31 December 2025, TAP reported (unaudited) net revenues of $9.5 million. TAP’s (unaudited) profit before tax of $4.6 million, after adjusting for PPHC’s remuneration policy, represents a 48% margin and demonstrates the quality of the earnings being added to the Group.
