In addition to our work in private practice, our experience includes public service, giving us an insider’s perspective on how government operates and the ability to grasp the policy context of our clients’ goals. Instead of simply reacting, we anticipate issues and identify legislative and regulatory initiatives that affect our clients’ interests.
Few law firms have our extensive experience at all strata of government. The service we provide is fully informed by the subject matter professionals—including those in energy, student lending, and finance—from across Ballard Spahr’s five departments and 18 offices.
We work with public and private clients in crafting legislative solutions and assist clients who see opportunities to improve the regulatory process. Our federal lobbying team advocates for clients before Congress, the Executive Branch, and federal agencies. We also offer advocacy services at the state level, where the business and political terrain varies from one state capital to the next. We develop and execute state-by-state strategies for meeting goals across industries and are positioned to move quickly and aggressively to protect those goals, when necessary.
Our team provides the following government relations services at all levels of government:
Lobbying and advocacy
Political intelligence gathering
Public policy research and analysis
Legislative drafting
Public procurement and contracting
Political law compliance
PAC formation, operations, and compliance
