corporate lobbyists

Corporate lobbyists are professionals hired by businesses or organizations to influence government decisions and policies that affect their interests. They work to persuade lawmakers and officials through meetings, providing data, and advocating for specific legislation. Lobbyists help ensure that their clients' perspectives and needs are considered during the law-making process. This practice is common in many countries and is regulated to promote transparency, as companies often invest significantly in lobbying to shape policies on taxes, regulations, and trade that can impact their operations and profitability.
