We've led inside the institutions
you seek to influence.

We advise leadership teams navigating political exposure, institutional complexity, and opportunities to shape outcomes in arenas of power.

We founded Plum & Talon after decades inside the institutions our clients seek to influence. We've seen how policy decisions are made, how narratives shape outcomes, and how organizations succeed or fail when scrutiny intensifies.

We built this firm to reflect how challenges unfold in the real world: across policy, communications, and operations at the same time. Most firms approach these through a single lens and leave clients to connect the pieces. Our counsel integrates all three from the start, so strategy reflects how decisions are made and how outcomes are shaped.

The name reflects the work.

Plum — earned trust, discretion, and seasoned counsel.

Talon — precision and decisive action when timing and stakes matter.

When you engage Plum & Talon, the principals who take your call are the principals who do the work.
