Public Policy, Advocacy, and Community Outreach
The most effective advocates must be adept at understanding the legislative and regulatory process to develop, implement, and advise on practical solutions to problematic public policy issues. Our government relations function involves a wealth of valuable and extensive experience as former government regulators, public policy experts, and legislative & regulatory counsel.
Whether your government related legal concern involves public policy development, grassroots activism, or over-arching government relations impact, we’re able to efficiently craft our legal guidance to help you achieve your professional goals. Our in-house or contract team strategically analyzes client problems and develops solutions that are efficient, practical, and effective. We will help you identify and craft an innovative solution beyond what is typically offered by traditional law firms. Combined with extensive professional relationships and contacts at the local, state, and federal level, we are prepared to represent you before any government entity.
