Legislation and Lobbying
It is hard to get things done in today’s polarized legislative landscape. It’s not enough for companies to sit back and wait for policy changes to happen. Our team of government policy advisors in Illinois, Michigan, and Washington, D.C., partner with you to formulate legislative, regulatory, and political strategies to support your needs proactively in front of both Republican and Democratic policymakers.

Our team has substantial experience lobbying through both traditional and innovative channels to promote and protect your interests on a range of issues such as healthcare, insurance, tax, infrastructure, and many others. We advocate before executive branches, lawmakers, and regulatory agencies, regardless of political persuasion or affiliation.
