==Scottish operation==
The Fleishman-Hillard office in Edinburgh was originally set up as GPC in 1996 ahead of the establishment of a Scottish Parliament in 1999. 
They boast that "Within Scotland, we are unrivalled in the depth and breadth of our knowledge on the detail of devolution and how the Scottish Parliament really operates in practice". They go on to say:
 
:"We pride ourselves on our understanding of how the Scottish political, policy, and media agendas impacts the rest of the United Kingdom and companies and organisations and their businesses. We can make a difference to our clients' business objectives by combining the right resources, people, and skills with a clear perspective and an innovative approach to any communications challenge". 
They conclude by stating:
:"Our team is drawn from a range of career backgrounds, bringing together political experience, policy development insight, strategic communications, event management, and research skills. The common factors among the team are our commitment to our clients and assurance that we will keep their needs at the top of our agenda". 
And finally: "To make ourselves as valuable to our clients as they are to us." 'Fleishman-Hillard's Global Communications Network Delivers Targeted Reach', Fleishman-Hillard website
One service they provide for their clients is to attend Scottish parliament cross-party group meetings that may affect their clients. For example, the cross-party Food group was attended by two employees, Jenni Wilkie and Ben Bosely Walker, in February of 2005. This may have something to do with Tesco being a client of theirs. 
See APPC website
Another client is Pfizer and therefore it comes as no surprise that Rachel Roberston (see below) is on the Cross Party Group for Diabetes, although she is listed as working for GPC, rather than Fleishman-Hillard. 
An employee of GPC, Ben Collins is also listed as being a member of the Oil group, with still no update ackowledging the change of name and ownership to Fleishman-Hillard. While finally Jenni Wilkie is listed as being a member of the Tackling Debt group, but yet again as being an employee of GPC and not of Fleishman Hillard.

==Specific lobbying campaigns==
===Education industry===
Fleishman-Hillard provides PR and lobbying services to clients in the education industry. It claims to understand the 'staggering range of challenges' facing education institutions today, such as 'dramatic shifts' and changing public perceptions. Services offered to its education sector clients include strategic communications (to support, for example, fundraising, or alumni membership growth); digital grassroots campaigning( to build community engagement and support); and crisis response programmes.Education sector expertise, Fleishman-Hillard website, accessed August 2015
Fleishman-Hillard's education sector lobbying clients include:
* In the EU: Pearson; Apple; McGraw-Hill
* In the UK: Omidyar Network; the Network is an investor in Bridge International Academies
===Nuclear===
Fleishman-Hillard has for several years handled the bulk of Nirex’s (Nuclear Industry Radioactive Waste Executive) monitoring service. One service the PR company provides is to attend Scottish parliament cross-party group meetings that may affect their clients. One of the PR company’s Scottish employees, Rachel Robertson, used to be on the Cross Party Group on the Civil Nuclear Industry. She attended these meetings listed as being from Nirex, and not as an employee from Fleishman-Hillard. Robertson has since been replaced by Ian Price who was also listed as being from Nirex. Coincidentally there was also an Ian Price listed as working at Fleishman-Hillard's Edinburgh office.Sourcewatch 
===Biotech===
In 2003, it was reported that “Fleishman-Hillard has been getting more and more deeply involved in the biotechnology sector, helping the Biotechnology Industry Organisation and the Council of Biotechnology Information communicate the benefits of the technology to consumers and opinion leaders.” In April 2006, US biotechnology firm Genzyme appointed Fleishman-Hillard to boost its profile among British policymakers and lobby the UK Government to commit more funding to biotech.Holmes Report;PR Week, “F-H Wins UK Job for Biotech Genzyme”, 14 April, 2006, p. 7.
 
===Turkey===
On 10 October 2007, the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs passed Resolution 106, which accuses the Turkish rulers in 1915 of genocide. There was an intensive on behalf of the Turkish government to sway the committee, described by Ali H. Aslan as follows:
:Both the Turkish and the US governments strongly opposed the resolution and were joined by DLA Piper, the Livingstone Group, public relations company Fleishman-Hillard and other companies that officially conducted lobbying activities on behalf of Turkey as well as by big corporations that have sizable commercial deals with Turkey such as Boeing and BP.Ali H. Aslan, How did last-minute hopes turn into disappointment?, Zaman, 10 October, 2007.
===ID cards===
In June 2005, Kevin Bell from the UK arm of Fleishman-Hillard spoke at a one-day conference in London called ID Cards: Towards Procurement and Implementation. The title of his talk was "Achieving public acceptance".Intellect Technology Association website
===Controversy in the US===
In May 2006, two senior Fleishman-Hillard executives Doug Dowie and John Stodder were found guilty in a fraud trial that had gripped the US PR industry for two years. The jury found Dowie guilty on 14 counts of 'wire fraud' and one count of conspiracy - in a scheme to overbill city tax-payers for PR services. Stodder, the agency's one-time SV-P of PA, was convicted on 11 counts of wire fraud and one on conspiracy. The two had been charged with conspiracy and wire fraud in an alleged 2003 scam to defraud the Department of Water and Power out of more than dollars 300,000.Randi Schmelzer, Former F-H Executives Found Guilty Of Fraud In US, PR Week, 26 May, 2006, p. 2.
