For nearly five decades, domestic and international businesses confronting legislative and regulatory problems in Washington, D.C. and world capitals and state capitals have looked to Patton Boggs as a trusted advisor. During this period, we also have helped individuals, trade associations and sovereign nations achieve important strategic objectives.

Owing to our skill and discretion, and our reputation for conducting public policy advocacy in compliance with applicable laws and ethics rules, the firm has long been recognized as one of the most influential law firms in the country. Long before our competitors, we recognized that all three branches of government offer opportunities to advance a client’s business or strategic objectives. We have a firm grasp of the rules of the legislative process, a strong sense of how the institutions of government operate and a solid understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

We often have encouraged Congress or the Administration to promote new initiatives or to oppose threatened action, persuaded Congress or an agency to amend or re-interpret a regulation, or convinced courts to interpret the law in the way that we believe Congress intended—frequently on matters where we helped secure enactment of the underlying legislation. Since our founding, we have recognized that the overriding goal of our public policy advocacy should be to help clients solve problems, as well as to enhance their reputations with policymakers. Our highly-trained professionals are drawn from the ranks of the legislative and executive branches of government, of every political stripe, and with strong backgrounds in business and finance. Working with Democrats, Independents and Republicans, we get things done on Capitol Hill and downtown.

In seeking to shape public policy decisions, we work in these broad areas of concentration on behalf of our clients:

We look forward to having an opportunity to help you advance your business and strategic interests in Washington, DC, in the states and around the world.
