About Me

Andrew C. Adair, J.D.

I am an American lawyer and public-policy advisor, with 15 years of experience in Washington political advocacy, public policy, and legal practice.  

In 2017, I began writing “The Week in Washington” (“Die Woche in Washington”), a bilingual newsletter summarizing my research and insights about U.S. politics and public policy relevant to transatlantic affairs, and in particular the German business community. 

I launched DC / Berlin Consulting in late 2018, offering customized services in transatlantic affairs, including: the organization of conferences and curated delegation trips, business consulting, customized research and analysis, and speeches and lectures.  As of May 1, 2021, I have transitioned from independent practice to employment, and DC / Berlin Consulting is now paused as a going concern. I can, however, still be reached privately at andrew@dc-berlin.com.    

I want to thank all the terrific organizations that have engaged me during this period: 

  • VDMA e.V. (German Mechanical Engineering Association) 
  • U.S. Chamber of Commerce 
  • Gaiali GmbH 
  • Siemens Healthineers 
  • Bundesvereinigung Logistik e.V. (German Logistics Association)  
  • Flying Health GmbH 
  • Kompart Verlagsgesellschaft (Kompart Publishing House)  
  • Aspen Institute Germany
  • Konrad Adenauer Foundation, North America

  • Heldman Simpson Partners 
  • GOERG Rechtsanwälte
  • Chamber of Commerce, Munich

Sincerely, 

Andrew Adair
