The firm represents clients before the U.S. Congress and federal agencies and departments in matters involving health care, taxation, energy, telecommunications, international trade, environmental law, transportation, occupational and product safety laws, antitrust, food and drug law, and education. Lawyers who practice in the public policy area coordinate efforts for our clients on matters that involve a policy component. Other professionals in the section bring additional legislative experience and expertise to our public policy practice. Because of the scope of the firm's practice, our attorneys routinely draw upon the extensive knowledge and experience of lawyers throughout the firm, and work with clients whose offices are outside the cities where we have offices. Our clients include large public companies, financial institutions, municipalities, partnerships, trusts, tax-exempt organizations, and various health care service providers.
