We do this in a carefully targeted manner designed to achieve the desired result without fanfare or unwanted publicity. Gibson Dunn’s Public Policy practice offers a bipartisan team of lawyers who have served in a wide range of high-ranking government positions. The group’s practitioners include former congressional committee staff and senior officials with U.S. federal agencies, the judiciary and the White House Office of Management and Budget.

We work to develop broad policy strategies using analytical tools, our experience in building and managing coalitions, expert, firsthand knowledge of relevant processes and personal relationships with key members and staff of governmental entities.
