Our team hails from public and private sectors, as well as the international community. The combination of our comprehensive knowledge of political climates and regulatory landscapes, together with our grasp of the intersection of business, law and government, has led to our reputation for cutting-edge advocacy work. We are consistently recognized by publications such as the American Lawyer, Chambers USA, National Law Journal, Roll Call, Influence and The Hill. We were among one of the first firms to recognize that all three branches of the government could serve as forums to advocate for our clients in order to achieve results.

Our Public Policy Practice has three main components:

  • Lobbying, which includes efforts to inform and influence the decisions of government officials, including members of the US Congress and their staff, US Executive Branch officials, and commissioners and staff of independent agencies, as well as officials throughout the world.
  • Regulatory advocacy, which includes efforts to achieve a desired regulatory or litigation outcome by engaging in the rule making and rule interpretation process, as well by assisting in compliance and enforcement matters.
  • Public policy due diligence, which includes efforts to identify risks (as well as opportunities) created by proposed legislation and regulations that would affect business deals, such as mergers and acquisitions, financial transactions and major construction projects, and then to respond, if necessary, by engaging in either lobbying or regulatory advocacy.
