The legislative and regulatory process often is the best avenue for resolving competitive challenges and maximizing potential opportunities. Our Government Relations and Public Policy practice helps clients interpret and shape governing laws, enabling them to achieve and maintain market leadership. The varied backgrounds of our government relations lawyers and lobbyists enable our team to handle a variety of client needs, including representation and strategic planning.
Members of our highly-regarded practice bring long-term relationships and credibility with decision-makers at all levels of the Legislative and Executive Branches and the federal agencies. Our politically-balanced team includes former high-ranking officials from the White House, Congress and key agencies. In addition, our team has the experience required to represent client interests in matters before state legislatures and foreign capitals.
The Government Relations practice includes attorneys who are both litigators and legislative advocates, as well as non-lawyer legislative professionals who have personal experience with both the Legislative and Executive Branches. Our professionals maintain a broad understanding of the substantive issues affecting our clients' interests and approach legislative advocacy much like trial advocacy, immersing themselves in the full detail of the matter at issue, distilling arguments in a cogent fashion, honing a winning message, preparing the case, and advocating for that case in halls, offices, and committee rooms. Together, we ensure that every potential solution to a given problem is considered carefully. We have a proven ability to pursue a single objective through multiple forums, using law, economics, government relations, and public relations as needed to ensure our clients' goals are achieved.
Our representations range from strategic campaigns that encompass public relations and litigation to regulatory efforts to overall legislative affairs management and to advising on specific initiatives. We have in-depth experience on a broad range of issues, including:
- Antitrust
- Congressional oversight
- Environmental and occupational safety and health
- Energy
- Financial services
- Healthcare
- Intellectual property
- International trade
- Privacy
- Tax
- Telecommunications and E-Commerce
