Government Relations & Lobbying

Overview

Parker Poe has a proven track record helping clients across the country successfully navigate the halls of government at the federal, state, and local levels. Our team utilizes a network of personal relationships in state and federal agencies, Congress, and state legislatures to provide each of our clients a lobbying strategy with clear objectives and outcomes. This strategy is supported by advising clients on the inner workings of the American political system and helping them achieve policy priorities, shape and draft legislation, and manage regulatory risk.

When clients need solutions on Capitol Hill, at the White House, or before federal agencies, the law firm works alongside Parker Poe Federal Strategies, led by Ken Preede, to provide bipartisan lobbying services. Our team of attorneys and consultants has a deep understanding of clients' perspectives and a significant track record of developing and advancing federal lobbying strategic plans.

In the nation's capital, in North Carolina, and in South Carolina through the support of Parker Poe Consulting, our team represents clients in a variety of sectors, including health care, local government, education, energy, technology, life sciences, and manufacturing. We represent a broad range of job creators expanding and locating across the United States and throughout the Americas.

Our government relations and lobbying practice encompasses activities such as formulating strategy, advising C-suite and executive leadership teams, drafting legislation, steering policy through legislative and executive branches, appearing before legislative committees and study commissions, navigating congressional investigations, and intervening directly with legislative officials.

Our practice is supported by the full force of Parker Poe, a 275-attorney law firm with offices in the nation's capital, the Carolinas, and Georgia. This platform enables us to provide clients comprehensive counsel on the challenges and opportunities their organizations face. We go beyond developing strategies to implementing them and delivering results.
