About

Provided by Bracewell LLP

Our government relations practice is housed within the Bracewell Policy Resolution Group (PRG). PRG is unique among law firms, as it brings together government relations, strategic communications and legal services together under one roof. This combination allows us to provide unparalleled, comprehensive services to clients.

Our team includes former senior officials in the legislative and executive branches, former press secretaries and journalists, former in-house counsel and nationally ranked lobbyists. We draw on these diverse skills and experiences to dive deep into a given matter. PRG's strategic communications team brings that knowledge to life through advocacy efforts fueled by the power of new and traditional media.

PRG helps members of Congress and their staff, regulators and other policymakers understand and act on the position of our clients, as well as in matching our clients’ priorities with the concerns of legislators and regulators. We develop legislative strategies, manage relations with the executive branch and relevant federal agencies, and create coalitions and strategic partnerships to advance our clients’ regulatory and legislative initiatives.
