Federal Policy

BakerHostetler’s Federal Policy team offers the full range of government affairs, public policy and lobbying services, providing businesses of all sizes – from pioneering startups to leading global corporations – with effective, strategic counsel.

Clients recognize the important role we play in shaping legislation and policy, and they choose the Federal Policy team because of our solid record of accomplishment.

Our team includes former members of Congress – both Republican and Democrat – and senior congressional staff. Together, we provide exceptional federal policy and government affairs consulting services, including around-the-corner policy insights that help clients see clearly into the politics, processes and personalities that will determine future legislation and guide regulatory actions.

We serve as a principal federal lobbying firm for an international online retailer for which we have created meeting opportunities with White House officials and successfully advocated for policy and regulatory outcomes in executive branch departments and agencies.
We serve as the principal Washington office for several life sciences research firms, developing outreach strategies, identifying risks and opportunities, and targeting legislative champions on Capitol Hill.
We represent one of the nation’s leading equity markets, including founding and leading a coalition of equity markets, and lobby to shape policy outcomes to revitalize the market for small public companies, promote initial public offerings and market transparency, and reduce conflicts of interest in the proxy advisory industry.
We lead Washington government affairs efforts for major medical technology manufacturers, including successfully lobbying to eliminate an industry-specific tax.
We successfully protected a blue-chip pharmaceutical manufacturer from adverse legislation that would have jeopardized patient access to one of its oncology treatments.
We provided Capitol Hill representation to a high-tech company seeking to raise its public profile, including securing an invitation for the company’s CEO to testify before Congress.
We manage and design strategies to grow political action committees for several corporate clients.
