| Our clients’ success is our success. With that principle to guide us, Butler Snow has grown from a regional firm to one with national and international scope. We have built a team of talented legal professionals who share a commitment to serve clients – from Fortune 100 firms to emerging-technology start-ups. Our Government and Regulatory Practice has the experience in handling major policy advocacy, regulatory, compliance or enforcement issues utilizing a combination of political, public relations, and mass media expertise. We practice in the legislative arena where we are vigorous advocates and coordinators of direct lobbying efforts for our clients. We track legislation in real time at the state and federal levels so that we can alert clients to new developments as soon as they occur. One of our key assets is knowledge of the chain of command and the respective areas of responsibility and influence of the hundreds of state boards and commissions in government offices, enabling us to provide more expedient and effective service to our clients. Our firm’s legislative work consists of monitoring for statutory or regulatory changes or problems on behalf of our clients, drafting and reviewing legislation, preparing comments on draft legislation, advising clients on the construction and effect of proposed or pending legislation, intelligence gathering, and providing strategic and political guidance and advice for lobbying efforts. |
