DRM Government and Public Affairs Group: Government Affairs

At Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC (DRM), the experienced and dedicated Government Affairs team can help you successfully navigate the people and issues involved in legislative and regulatory matters.

Gavel to Gavel Legislative Coverage

 

DRM’s five-member Government Affairs team knows the legislative process and the people who make a difference. DRM provides full-time coverage of legislative deliberations, helps legislative clients to monitor the developments that affect them, and helps them to have an impact on key decisions.  Benefits include:

 

• advice from senior public policy advisors who know the legislative process.
• full-time coverage of legislative committees, news conferences, floor debates and Statehouse strategies.
• a weekly Statehouse report for clients only that is regarded as the best in Montpelier
• advice and counsel based upon years of successful representation of a broad range of clients and industries. 
• access to decision makers with meticulous attention to high ethical standards.
• an automated, password protected, client-focused bill tracking system with up-to-the-minute tracking of key bills.

Comprehensive Strategies

 

Identifying priorities and careful planning are important keys to success in the public policy arena. The DRM Government Affairs team is on the ground in Montpelier 12 months of the year. Our senior advisors help clients to understand the process and the people that make up state government. Plan now to make contacting DRM a priority.

 

Liaison to State Regulatory Agencies

 

Client issues don’t always require a new rule or a new law. Sometimes, the answer comes from knowing who to call and knowing what to say. DRM’s Government Affairs team stays on top of changes in state agencies and their leaders. We match client problems with the right public resources.
