More about Gunster’s Government Affairs practice

In every sector of the economy, business is significantly impacted by the policies and decisions of state government. It is no longer enough for companies to simply react to proposed change. The most effective approach to overcoming obstacles, creating opportunity and protecting the bottom line involves working with decision makers and thought leaders outside of conventional financial and legal arenas to successfully address even the most complex governmental and community concerns. Conforming to established regulations, and drafting and shepherding legislation requires teaming with counsel who offer not only deep industry experience and relationships, but who also have mastered the technical and procedural aspects of the legislative, regulatory and administrative policy making process.

Gunster’s Government Affairs team has skills that are broad, deep and dimensional. Our professional experiences include preparing businesses for presentations to state governing bodies, obtaining government approvals for pending projects, assisting in implementing regulations and policies, and lobbying at the legislative and executive agency levels. Our attorneys, consultants and political analysts provide the range of services required to achieve our clients’ objectives. Gunster has a reputation for achieving preferred outcomes in the areas of legislative counsel and consulting, Public Service Commission (PSC) regulatory counsel and general administrative and regulatory law.
