OUR HISTORY
Qorvis has guided multinational corporations, sovereign nations, and ultra-high net worth individuals through every major global shift of the last 25 years.
Founded in 2000 in Washington, D.C., Qorvis emerged in the wake of 9/11 as one of the first firms to combine political intelligence, media strategy, and sovereign advisory into a single global offering.
We’ve supported clients through every major global shift of the modern era: the Arab Spring, the global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine, and now, a period defined by geopolitical tension, trade volatility, and regulatory pressure.
In 2014, Qorvis was acquired by Publicis Groupe, the largest multinational advertising and public relations company in the world. At the end of 2022, long-time Qorvis executive Matt J. Lauer led a group of shareholders in taking the company private once again in a management buyout – allowing us to better serve clients with greater agility, discretion, and strategic focus.
Today, Qorvis is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in the world’s most significant markets: Geneva, Brussels, Dubai, and Riyadh.
In September 2025, Qorvis celebrated our 25th anniversary in Washington, D.C. As Washington Life Magazine put it, “Guests had the unmistakable sense they’d just toasted not the end of an era, but the start of a new one.”

OUR LEGACY
Our clients face challenges that demand clarity, conviction, and a global perspective. These are the same qualities that defined Albert Gallatin – an architect of American financial diplomacy and a symbol of the values Qorvis brings to every client relationship.
We’ve stood by sovereign nations through war, regime change, and intense international pressure – strengthening credibility and preserving influence.
We’ve steered some of the world’s largest energy and commodities traders through contested transactions, media investigations, and operational crises – safeguarding assets and market access.
We’ve counseled ultra-high net worth individuals facing public scrutiny, sanctions exposure, and cross-border legal challenges – protecting value and positioning them for the future.
That’s why we look to Albert Gallatin, the Geneva-born financier, statesman, and humanitarian. As the longest-serving U.S. Treasury Secretary, he shaped the nation’s early financial system through discipline and diplomacy. Today, his legacy lives in how Qorvis serves clients: with a global perspective born in Washington and Geneva, and a commitment to protecting opportunity and value in volatile, high-stakes environments.
