Navigating Congress
Navigating Congress
Companies often don't take advantage of the opportunities available to them by visiting their congressional leaders in Washington D.C. Often, it is because it is unfamiliar territory, and one that can be intimidating without a guide. Richards & Lord can help.
Over the last several years Liz Richards has accompanied several different clients to our nation's capitol, and helped them navigate not only the various office buildings, but also the unspoken rules and traditions that exist in such a busy and important city. We can do the same for you.
If your company is part of a trade association, chances are that association sponsers a yearly "fly-in" event wherein they suggest the issues to be discuused that would most benefit your industry and your company. Then you, under their auspices, speak with your congressmen and senators.
If you are not part of an association, but have issues with which you think your congressmen and senators could help, Richards & Lord will gladly set up meetings and guide you through them. We have had congressmen direct their aides to have them be co-sponsers of a bill after speaking with us and our clients. This is your government at work, and with some public relations guidance, it's not only easy, but thrilling, to be a part of it.
We are not lobbyists, we just act on your behalf to make sure you have access to the important interface with your government to which you are entitled. From advising you on which airport to use, to where to stay, to using public transportation, we are ready to assist you in such a venture. You need only to make us aware of your interest!
