Government Relations

Any successful governmental relations effort requires knowledge of the legislative, executive and regulatory processes, access to the key decision makers, and an ability to present and articulate a client's issue, problem, or, more importantly, a strategic solution in a clear and concise manner. Powers & Company strategic advisory and consulting firm excels in all these areas.

The principals and business partners of the firm represent over 100 years of combined experience in the governmental arena. Our ability to understand a client's needs, determine the client's goal, and devise the best plan to accomplish the goal is second to none.

Our understanding of the legislative and regulatory processes from an insider point-of-view, coupled with our relationships with leaders and staff in all branches of government, provides our clients with unique insights.

Powers & Company works closely with our clients to develop legislative and regulatory relationships. We effectively communicate to legislative and executive leaders our clients' interests and views on issues affecting their strategic and governmental interests.

Whether the client goal involves the introduction of new legislation or lobbying on existing legislation, we can masterfully handle the task. When new legislation is required, we will work to find the appropriate legislative sponsors as well as aid in drafting legislative language. In cases where legislation already exists, we can assist in passage or defeat, depending on our client's goals.

Our legislative team will also establish a legislative bill file of all pertinent legislation that could potentially affect our clients' businesses. Our staff will track the status of these bills as they progress through the legislative session and will report to clients whenever action occurs or is required.

Powers & Company strategic advisory and consulting firm is very mindful of the need to conduct all lobbying and procurement activities within the confines of relevant laws and executive orders. We work closely with our clients to ensure that all client lobbying efforts are conducted in accordance with state and federal lobbying guidelines.

These are some of the reasons why, since its 2001 founding, Powers & Company is the fastest growing strategic advisory and consulting firm in Albany according to New York Temporary State Commission on Lobbying reports.
