FrontPaceStrategy development and implementation for corporations and smaller companies
FrontPace works for corporate organisations across the Americas and Europe. Our objective is to help clients make more of the assets they already hold, through the development and implementation of strategy and through the transactions that put it into effect.
We work project by project, on the principle of syndication: each mandate is staffed with specialist firms drawn from the sector it concerns, rather than in-house. Commitment to the client and strict confidentiality govern every engagement.

Questions
Common questions about how FrontPace works, what it provides and the terms on which it operates.
What does FrontPace do?
FrontPace advises corporations and smaller companies on developing and implementing policy and strategy. The firm also works in the strategic brokerage of commodities and supports corporate clients in internationalisation.
What is strategic brokerage?
Strategic brokerage is the intermediation of commodity transactions on a spot or term-contract basis: the broker matches the counterparties and structures the commercial terms. FrontPace's specialists work on both bases.
What is corporate internationalisation?
Corporate internationalisation is the process by which a company extends its operations into markets outside its home country, covering market selection, entry structure, local partnerships and regulatory requirements. FrontPace helps clients develop and implement these strategies.
Where does FrontPace operate?
The core group has completed, or is currently running, engagements in 27 countries across the Americas and Europe. The firm's network reaches most countries in those regions.
How does FrontPace structure its engagements?
FrontPace works project by project on the principle of syndication: a team is formed for each mandate from specialist firms in the relevant sector, rather than every engagement being staffed in-house.
Does FrontPace observe sanctions regimes?
Yes. FrontPace and its core group observe US OFAC and UK sanctions regimes at all times, alongside the code of conduct published above, which covers bribery, kick-backs, conflicts of interest and political contributions.
