Government Relations
We develop and execute advocacy plans aligned to your policy goals — and give you the intelligence to act before the landscape shifts.
We’ve worked the Texas Legislature through regular and special sessions, and we know how decisions actually get made in Austin. We track the issues that affect your business, prepare you for the meetings that matter and handle the follow-up that keeps your position in front of decision-makers.
Government relations services may include lobbying and do not constitute legal advice. See our disclaimer.
What we do
- 01
Strategy
With a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory and parliamentary process, we develop a plan tailored to each client’s regulatory or policy goals.
- 02
Advocacy
Meaningful engagement with policymakers and staff is key to legislative success. We approach each meeting with focus — articulating why legislation matters to your business, your industry and the state of Texas.
- 03
Legislative Monitoring
Thousands of bills and amendments are filed every session. We use technology and disciplined tracking to monitor legislation, hearings and rule-making during session and the interim.
- 04
Regulatory & Agency Engagement
We work with state agencies through rulemaking and implementation to make sure policy works for your business once it leaves the Capitol.
- 05
Coalitions & Stakeholders
Policy is rarely won alone. We identify allies, build and strengthen coalitions and align industry, community and business voices behind a shared message, amplifying your position and broadening support for your priorities at the Capitol.
