The Harland & Poston Group has secured a wide-ranging editorial pact with IMI Daily, the specialist journal read by legislators, private-office advisers and internationally mobile investors from Vancouver to Vladivostok. The agreement confers the coveted Industry Expert appellation—a label reserved for organisations that substantiate every assertion with hard evidence and can demonstrate consistent delivery across multiple jurisdictions. In less than a decade, the Group has moved from regional upstart to an authority now invited to shape the industry’s most closely followed forum.IMI Daily is not another newsletter in a crowded inbox. Its daily briefings land on the desks of the officials who draft residency statutes, the lawyers who structure cross-border holdings, and the family offices responsible for shepherding capital through a shifting regulatory maze. To hold Industry Expert status inside this ecosystem is to gain a seat at the policy table before the ink dries on new rules.“Recognition from IMI Daily confirms that our research, client work and on-the-ground execution meet the highest bar in the market,” explained David Poston, Co-Founder and Chief Executive. “More importantly, it gives us licence to interrogate prevailing wisdom, supply context where headline numbers alone mislead, and offer readers a perspective rooted in real transactions rather than conjecture.”The collaboration is substantive rather than symbolic. The Harland & Poston Group will produce monthly columns, granular legislative digests and data-rich market deep-dives. Early commissions include a comparative analysis of European pathway reforms post-Schengen recast, a forecast of Asian liquidity into Mediterranean second-home stock, and a forensic look at the emerging ‘tech-nomad’ visa class. Each piece will combine proprietary data, first-hand fieldwork and critical commentary—precisely the blend IMI Daily’s readership has come to expect.Beyond the written word, the Group now becomes exclusive sponsor of IMI Daily’s Portugal Golden Visa portal, extending its visibility among applicants who prize transparency over sales patter. The sponsorship will double as a launch pad for exploring adjacent avenues, including the evolving Greek residency route and the newly floated Spanish reforms. Internal working groups are already distilling case studies, client testimonials and macroeconomic trendlines to feed the portal’s editorial calendar.For Harland & Poston, the tie-up neatly supports a broader communications thesis: the firm should help draft the narrative that governs capital flows and human movement, not merely transact once the regulations are set. It intends to use the platform to advocate for evidence-led policymaking, spotlight unintended consequences where they arise, and champion investor programmes that deliver reciprocal benefit to host nations.About Harland & Poston GroupFounded in Portugal in 2017, the Group operates across diversified and key industries, to ensure all of our clients' needs are met with the same degree of quality and commitment.
