Increasingly, public policy considerations play major roles in the determination of the outcome of business undertakings. The firm’s practitioners understand how institutions of government operate. If needed, we pursue client goals in judicial, legislative and administrative forums to achieve ultimate success for the client. We team with our clients to achieve common sense government decisions that are consistent with our client’s business objectives. With its extensive experience, Ryley Carlock & Applewhite provides timely and focused input to public policy decisions at all levels of government. The firm not only represents businesses seeking to help shape public policy, but also represents those clients that need to anticipate governmental changes, both favorable and unfavorable, before making crucial business decisions. The firm’s professionals have experience that makes them sensitive to the legal and policy/political atmosphere in which government bodies make decisions and cast votes. This allows us to provide clients with critical insights valuable to their business decisions. In addition, members of the firm have helped shape public policy directly through lobbying and drafting legislation at the federal, state, and local levels, and have participated in agency rulemaking hearings. We also have experience in the increasingly active area of elections that affect business. Activists increasingly use initiative-run politics to achieve their goals. The firm’s professionals have successfully participated in the passage of some initiatives and the defeat of others. In addition, we have represented special citizen committees not only in their formation and participation in elections, but also have defended challenges to their lawful participation in the electoral process. |
