BGR Group is representing the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on a pro bono basis, providing strategic government affairs and PR services in the US.
"BGR is proud to work on behalf of the people of Venezuela to assist the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and Ambassador Carlos Vecchio and his team," said a statement from the firm's president Jeffrey Birnbaum, "We are acting in support of the legitimate government of President Juan Guaidó in the United States. We will provide government relations and communications assistance pro bono to promote the cause of freedom and democracy in Venezuela."
