As lobbyists, we serve not just as your guide to Washington but your strategic partner. Whether you want to support or oppose legislation, modify regulations, or retain the status quo, we can help you navigate the volatile D.C. landscape and lead you to the successful achievement of your goals. In the event your organization faces investigation by or heightened scrutiny from Congress or a segment of the executive branch, we can defend you and help you navigate the process.
A key part of our advocacy is our ability to track federal and state policies and administrative actions and provide you with up-to-the-minute details. Supported by our sophisticated research system, we track competitive funding opportunities across all branches of the government and assist in the promotion of federal grant, loan, and loan guarantee applications. We can also coordinate Congressional lobbying days and industry events, seminars, and briefings that position your organization in front of your target audience.
Our firm is bipartisan, and our practice is bicameral. We are equipped to advise you on a broad range of policy issues, especially in the areas of education, intellectual property, privacy, financial services, public transit, transportation, and e-commerce. We can connect your organization with key policymakers so you can develop meaningful relationships within government as well as with specific industries and business sectors.
