Our Counsel & Capabilities
Effective advocacy requires a sophisticated understanding of both policy substance and political process. Our counsel is built on a foundation of deep, hands-on experience in specific states and subject matters that are critical to our clients' success.
Government Affairs
The Policy Stack practice is built on a deep mastery of state and federal government. With an established presence in Kansas, Missouri, and Washington D.C., we provide our clients with premier representation and strategic advice. Our work extends beyond the legislature to include effective engagement with the executive branch, including Governors' offices, Secretaries of State, and key administrative departments that create and implement policy. We are adept at designing and managing complex, multi-state campaigns for clients whose interests cross state lines.
Our experience managing these multi-state campaigns is extensive. We have successfully represented client interests in diverse political landscapes across the nation, including on the West Coast (Alaska, California, Idaho, Washington), throughout the Mountain West (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah), across the Midwest (Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin), throughout the South (Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia), and in the Northeast (Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire and New York).
