Practices:
Government
Our firm’s Government Group helps clients step confidently into federal, state, and local legislative and regulatory arenas by developing strategies tailored to their needs. It includes former elected officials of both parties at the state and local levels in Illinois, as well as former professional staff at the state and local levels. With this experience available to them, our clients have the advantage of not only well-informed advice, but also the procedural knowledge to help chart their course through what can otherwise be a governmental maze.
The Government Group provides clients with results-oriented representation before federal, state, and municipal governments. Our services include legislative and executive branch counseling, advocacy, negotiation, and preparation for hearings before or presentations to legislative and administrative bodies. We offer an effective combination of public policy and legal skills to businesses, industry associations, government entities, and individuals. Our contacts and experience enable clients to simultaneously pursue legislative and regulatory actions to address problems they may have as a consequence of government action or inaction.
Our Group maintains a strong practice in the areas of:
It is our number one priority to provide timely and accurate information on proposed governmental policies under consideration by either the legislative or executive branches of government. Such initiatives frequently can affect a client’s cost of doing business. When Congress or a federal agency is about to make a decision possibly affecting a business’ costs or compliance with new regulatory requirements, it is critical for our clients to be able to rely upon the best and most up-to-the-minute advice. We interact with senior officials throughout government on a regular basis in order to provide our clients with informative and timely counsel.
