Overview

Griffin & Prescott maintains a dedicated Public Affairs practice representing clients before the U.S. Congress, the executive branch, federal regulatory agencies, and state legislatures. Our team combines former senior government officials with seasoned policy advocates to deliver bipartisan, results-oriented representation. We are registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act and operate in transparent compliance with all applicable federal and state lobbying regimes.

Federal and state lobbying is the connective work between commercial strategy and policy outcome. Clients engage us when the issues at stake are consequential enough to require senior representation, careful coordination across stakeholders, and the credibility that comes from years of relationships built on candor and substantive expertise.

Our lobbyists include former senior congressional staff, former executive-branch officials, and seasoned policy advocates. We work across the political spectrum and have substantive depth in the issue areas where our clients most frequently engage: financial regulation, healthcare, higher education, energy, technology, national security, and tax. Every engagement is registered where the law requires it and disclosed where it does not.
