Government Relations & Public Policy

Overview

Understanding How Things Work

No matter your industry, your business is significantly impacted by increasing regulation and legislative changes. Often, having the understanding of which policy making or regulatory agency controls what type of regulation is crucial to your success.  Brooks Pierce’s team of skilled and respected lobbyists includes both attorneys and public policy professionals – many of whom have served in federal, state or local governments. They understand how governmental agencies work, and help clients seek appropriate solutions from agencies and lawmakers.
