Overview

The Public Policy Practice Group leverages deep bipartisan congressional and regulatory experience to address complex legislative and policy issues across a wide range of industries.

Our lawyers offer strategic advice and advocacy to help clients achieve their business objectives, aligning decision-makers, shaping legislation, regulatory, and appropriations, guiding public narratives, and representing our clients’ interests in federal, state, and local forums throughout the United States and worldwide.

Our lawyers have served in a wide range of high-ranking government positions including key roles within Congress and congressional committees, U.S. federal government agencies, the judiciary, and the White House. Our teams are keenly aware of how members of Congress, and regulatory and agency decision-makers are likely to react to a client’s interests. We combine our knowledge of the rules and practices of committee chairs, ranking members, and agency leaders, to gain a distinct edge in helping clients to navigate the complexities of public policy. We provide our clients with an insider’s perspective on legislative and regulatory processes, enabling us to offer strategic advice and advocacy tailored to meet specific objectives.
