Government Relations attorneys call upon the experience of these colleagues to
analyze draft bills and amendments and to anticipate how regulatory agencies
and courts will implement or interpret such legislation. With this knowledge,
the firm is able to provide alternative bill or amendment language and advice
to clients as well as legislators and legislative staff.

familiarizing themselves with the clients' business activities, we daily
