Government Policy & Advocacy
With years of experience advocating for business issues such as tax, energy, labor, transportation and regulatory policies, our lawyers understand that poorly conceived policies can hinder a business’s success. We are practiced advocates who have appeared before state legislatures, governors, regulatory commissions, United States agencies, and the U.S. Congress on behalf of our clients.
Rules and regulations can have a profound impact on the ability of business to thrive and we believe that anything can be achieved in the policy realm given enough time, resources and effort. We work to ensure that business interests are taken seriously at every level of government. We work alongside elected leaders to find common ground and identify and satisfy stakeholder needs and potential legal roadblocks, to achieve win-win outcomes with maximum profitability at marginal cost and risk.
We believe that government policies should enable businesses, not hamper them. When current laws or regulations pose potential risks to your business, an experienced government policy advocacy can intercede to ensure that negative consequences of policy are addressed and rectified. We provide a variety of government policy advocacy services at the local, State, and Federal levels ensuring sound policy for business matters in Florida and throughout the country.
