Jeff Chatterton’s Experience

  Checkmate keeps clients OUT of the news.
  
  My firm specializes in "Defending Good Science" for new technologies - specifically agricultural and chemical manufacturers.
  
  As a registered lobbyist, I can help smooth the path when dealing with governments. However, I'm also a big fan of not relying on the government to help you out... that's a one way recipe for disaster.
  
  Boycotts, recalls, upset neighbours or stakeholders... chances are good we've been there and done that.
