Government Relations: Federal

We get the hard assignments. Pension reform, national cannabis legislation, Middle East peace, the US-China bilateral relationship, the space launch industry and tax reform, among many others.  Our clients come to us when confronting difficult, complex, and high-profile challenges to their business. We offer a strategy that integrates the relevant legal, regulatory and policy components that is grounded in law and supported by policy to drive our advocacy. 

Our specializations include: congressional investigations, transportation and infrastructure, local governments, sovereign governments, international trade and strategic advocacy. 

The global and multidisciplinary nature of our practice is a key differentiator made more acute by the pandemic. The worldwide pandemic response has led to critical mandates, including one that involved our Washington and Brussels teams collaborating to help a European government consider emergency economic reforms it might make based on those executed in Washington and across Europe.

Our clients also benefit from the unique insights and strategic guidance of our senior former elected and appointed officials. They include a US Speaker of the House, three US Representatives, a Secretary of Transportation, a US Inspector General for the Departments of State and Homeland Security, a Senior VP and General Counsel of the US EXIM Bank, and 40-year veteran of the State and Defense Departments.
