Advocating for Businesses in All Levels of Government
Government policy and regulatory decisions have an impact on virtually every organization. We represent a number of local and national companies and trade associations in all aspects of the legislative process. Our Firm has developed a close, working relationship with the staff of many state and local governmental agencies, which enables us to remain active on matters arising in anticipation of legislation, preparing and testifying before committee hearings, and lobbying for and against proposed legislation. This allows us to keep our clients fully informed regarding the status of pending bills and legislative studies.
