Stonington Global

What Stonington Global does

Stonington Global is a Washington, D.C.-based boutique strategic advisory firm that provides four integrated service lines: government consulting, public relations, private equity advisory, and legal & litigation support. The firm serves three primary client segments — sovereign governments and public entities (including "countries in crisis"), corporations facing "existential threats," and individuals with high-stakes legal or political issues — and explicitly markets itself to clients where "failure is not an option."

The firm is built around a multi-disciplinary, bipartisan team that combines lawyers, lobbyists, investment advisors, and PR specialists, many with senior government backgrounds. Founder and Chairman Nick Muzin has served as Chief of Staff to two sitting U.S. Senators, Director of Coalitions for the House Republican Majority, and Senior Advisor on presidential campaigns; other team members include former White House and HUD senior officials (Dan Huff), a former State Department/FBI counterterrorism official (Jess Sadick), a former U.S. Ambassador of Madagascar (Eric Robson), and affiliates of lobbying firm 1607 Strategies led by a Hill Top Lobbyist (Travis Johnson). The firm leverages these networks for both domestic policy work (federal and state lobbying, legislative strategy) and cross-border sovereign-government advisory across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Commercially, Stonington operates as a relationship-driven boutique with no disclosed pricing, no public revenue, no institutional funding, and no reported parent company. Engagements are bespoke and quote-based; acquisition is primarily inbound via the firm's website ("Request A Call" CTA), earned media (NYT, Jerusalem Post, The Hill), and direct referrals from its political and diplomatic network. The firm generates revenue exclusively through professional-services fees across its four pillars, with private equity advisory across specialized financial services, agriculture, energy, consumer products, healthcare, and selected infrastructure serving as its most distinctive non-lobbying revenue stream.
