Government AffairsBack

The increasing scope, complexity and significance of government impacts virtually every enterprise. Today's foresighted corporations, associations, professional service firms, and communities need experienced and professional advocates to voice their concerns, apprize them of new and changing trends, and assist them in forming strategic alliances. Not paying attention to what is going on in government can have a profound, and often adverse, impact on all entities and their stakeholders.

The Government Affairs Solution Group represents private and public sector clients with decision-makers on the local, state and federal levels of government, capitalizing on our experience and relationships. Areas of expertise include economic development, transportation, housing, real estate, zoning, land use, environmental, permitting, taxation and electric deregulation. We focus on the following:
  • Strategic Representation - Represent clients on issues before local, state and federal governmental bodies. We focus on representing clients with acute issues demanding immediate attention, as well as long term policy matters. Whether companies have an interest in legislation, an issue with a government agency or are attempting to secure a government contract, we are prepared to provide strategic representation.

  • Strategic Alliances - Formation of alliances with key stakeholders, influencers and opinion leaders to promote the positions of our clients. Pursuing a solution alone rarely makes sense. Identification of potential allies and alignment of resources can shift the balance of power in our clients' favor.

  • Outreach - Strategic outreach to key individuals in the regulatory, legislative and administrative areas of government. There are many closed doors in government. Knowing where they are, how to open them and how to get a fair hearing is invaluable.

  • Civic Responsibility - Involvement in key community, civic and philanthropic boards and commissions. Participation in these entities not only benefits the specific organization, it most certainly benefits the individual involved.

  • Community and Economic Development - Represent communities and companies with the negotiation of various issues in the arenas of community and economic development. For example, most governments offer incentives to companies making investments within their borders. Many companies fail to benefit because they lack the knowledge or ability to secure the incentives available.

  • Lobbying - Serve as clients' lobbyist on key issues. An informed, aggressive and connected advocate should be a vital part of any business' strategy and team.
