Advisory in Geopolitical Matters
We are an Austrian consulting firm, embedded in a U.S. partner network, that helps businesses understand and navigate geopolitical realities. By supporting related needs and managing resulting risks; through proven networks, tools, and processes. From gathering intelligence on counterparties to supporting sanctions compliance - or facilitating discreet backchannel (private diplomacy) access to relevant stakeholders, under difficult cross-border circumstances.
Global Reach Thanks to
Strategic Embeddedness
In the spirit of the transatlantic Hub for Frontier Affairs, HFASA draws on a broad and deep global reach, based on strategic partnerships.
Most importantly, HFASA serves as the Central European gateway to its U.S partners. Among them leading American geopolitical consulting firms, private intelligence operations, as well as leading U.S. lobbying and law firms. Enabling, for example, the developing of deals between the U.S. and non-U.S. actors who are prepared to generate win-win by supporting U.S. interests.
In Austria itself, HFASA and its American partners are strategic partners of Eventus-CPI, a highly regarded Austrian provider of advanced operational security and investigative services.
The Last Cold War - Origin of Our Partner Network
The historic photograph above is used here to pay tribute to a group of exceptional American strategic leaders whose vision and resolve were instrumental in securing the West’s victory in the last Cold War: President Ronald W. Reagan with Zbigniew K. Brzezinski, Evron Kirkpatrick, James R. Schlesinger, and George H. W. Bush (photograph by Diana Walker, licensed via Getty Images, 2500126924).
Key elements of our American partner network have been active for decades; providing a breadth and depth of relationships and experience that would otherwise be very difficult to obtain. In that sense, above image also marks a period during which members of our U.S. partner network advanced Western interests in the latter stages of the Cold War. During that time, among other efforts, they assisted Western businesses in protecting their assets and operations against communist interference across multiple continents. That same spirit, expertise, and mission‑driven reliability are once again becoming critical in today’s increasingly uncertain and adversarial environment.
Where others run out of answers, we develop
and pursue reliable solutions – calm, determined,
and with a hint of a smile.
Whether operating in the hinterlands of Central America or in Vienna, Austria, our global network has consistently proven its ability to support legitimate clients in high-stakes situations. Where others run out of answers, we develop and execute reliable solutions.
To meet the demands of this work, our Special Advisors collaborate with a trusted network of highly specialized attorneys and law firms from the U.S. and other nations, translating their solution-oriented legal tradecraft into practical instruments of execution that are consistently compliant with the laws of the applicable jurisdictions.
