Government Affairs and Public Policy

Employers sometimes face workplace compliance and policy issues that are so complicated or sensitive that the intervention of legislators, policy officials, or senior-level agency regulators is necessary to help resolve them. They also encounter situations that require nothing short of statutory, regulatory, or policy revisions to advance their public policy interests.

Focus Areas

When a situation calls for a particularly high level of “inside-the-beltway” discretion and diplomacy, the experts in our Government Affairs and Public Policy Advocacy practice group deliver. We closely monitor federal regulatory and legislative developments affecting the workplace and maintain regular contact with key government and Congressional leaders and staff.

Our work supporting the Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC), the nation’s largest non-profit association focused on workplace compliance, also routinely involves communicating with federal regulators and senior policy officials through both formal and informal channels on a variety of workplace compliance matters.

We provide a full range of government affairs services and solutions, including:

  • Lobbying Executive and Legislative Branch Officials
  • Developing Workplace Policy Strategies
  • Evaluating Government Actions Under the Administrative Procedure Act
  • Analyzing Government Actions Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
  • Preparing and Reviewing Comment Letters
  • Forming, Administering, and Managing Employer Coalitions
  • Developing and Managing Advocacy Campaign Strategies
