Services

As a government relations practitioner offering results-oriented representation, our firm is focused on influencing the future. This statement is not as bravado-laced as it may sound. 

​

Knowing an elected official's predilections, peculiarities, or passions is every insider's forte. How to use government dysfunction to a client’s benefit is our firm’s advantage. Experience matters.

​

• Initiating direct issue advocacy and meetings with the Legislative and Executive branches of the U.S. government;

 

•  Interpreting political trends and attitudes - conservative or progressive - and the potential impacts they could have on a client’s vested interests;​

​

• Guiding clients through a maze of complex and often perplexing legislative pathways;

 

• Providing strategic advice and presentation coaching in advance of engagement with legislators, staff, and the career civil service bureaucracy;

 

• Helping identify key state-based Congressional staff and federal agency field office personnel who can be resources in problem-solving;

 

• Monitoring relevant congressional committee hearings and supplying members' management staff in advance of hearings with facts, background or suggested questions vis-a-vis testifying witnesses;

 

• Offering insightful suggestions and counsel on risk management that will resonate with politicians;

 

• Providing and insider's perspective on similarly situated, or similarly disadvantaged, businesses that may be tactical allies in a joint campaign to promote or block legislation.
