National Government Affairs
Public policy issues frequently extend across local and state borders and quickly become national in scope. When an issue of concern arises in multiple jurisdictions, or legislative trends emerge, McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP (MLA) develops and manages nation-wide government affairs efforts. With MLA’s oversight, our clients are able to ensure the delivery of a coordinated message consistent across the U.S., yet tailored to targeted geographic locations.
Some of the services provided by our National Government Affairs team include:
- Management of government affairs professionals across the U.S.
- Nation-wide legislative tracking
- Political intelligence
- Direct advocacy in key markets
- Visibility and relationship building in new markets
- Exploration of federal opportunities
Our National Government Affairs team includes former elected and appointed officials and their advisors, from across the U.S., including former mayors, governors and members of Congress, who understand how to impact policy and public opinion locally, while mindful of the broader national objective. Our firm’s established presence nationally helps us to closely monitor issues of concern to clients, and maintain strong relationships with multiple state and local governments and legislatures. Our national government affairs practitioners are located in offices throughout the U.S., and our network extends to every jurisdiction where our clients have pressing needs.
