GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES

HLG represents clients on a government-to-government and business-to-government basis in all aspects of policy making, legislative issue and relationship building. We pride ourselves in our ability to secure our client’s strategic goals by combining a deep and substantive knowledge of our client’s issues with our advocacy skills and relationships in the community.

We understand legislative regulatory processes at all levels. We do this work either as stand-alone projects, or in conjunction with our client’s more traditional legal work. HLG’s bi-partisan government strategies group has the relationships, advocacy skills and deep understanding of legislative and public policy issues that are important to you and your business. Areas in which we have extensive experience include local government, legislative and policy issues, health care, tribal relationships, transportation, and land use planning (including Washington’s Growth Management Act).

Whether it’s gathering critical information, consulting, issue monitoring, educating local, state and federal legislators, or advocating actively to effect legislation or public policy, we thrive on developing personalized objectives for each client and strategically positioning clients to achieve desired results.

As a law firm, we find that clients occasionally need to add other disciplines to our team. We are effective at assembling the best consultants for your projects, as well as managing costs and getting your desired outcome very carefully.
