THE FIRM
Whether public corporation, private interest, association, or government entity, CEO, senior management corporate counsel, or small business associate — public policies and government decision-making pose challenges and opportunities for any organization.
Pending legislative or regulatory issues can threaten or change your industry. In California alone there are over 5000 new laws drafted in each legislation session (2-year). Anyone of them can impact your members.
YOUR PARTNER IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Capitol Partners, LLC. (CP) provides services covering the full spectrum of public affairs — combining comprehensive counsel with proficiency in government relations, strategic positioning and communications. CP brings diverse experience and deep knowledge, as well as responsive and creative business solutions.
Our staff has a reputation for devising and advocating practical and politically viable solutions to complex issues — often in a highly charged political environment. On certain matters, our political strategy calls for a limited and carefully calculated approach; on other matters, we establish broad-based coalitions or mobilize grassroots campaigns. We have experience leading both types of efforts.
Our team has an in-depth understanding of the statutory and regulatory framework in which issues arise, coupled with strong ties with the Legislature, Governor’s Office, and other state decision-makers and opinion leaders.
This combination positions the CP team as the ideal vanguard for your government relation’s issues. Whether you need legislation passed or stopped, administrative rules written or changed, or trade issues tracked, our front-line position will help you reach your goals.
CP APPROACHES YOUR CHALLENGES THE WAY YOU DO
Key to our success for your members is our understanding of your issues. We will listen carefully to your program goals, work with you to assess the appropriate resources necessary, and provide you with an experienced team to develop a comprehensive approach to reach your goals.
