When dealing with state or local government agencies, the stakes can be high and your company cannot afford to fail.

Our Columbus attorneys' unique background of service in state and local government has given us unrivaled experience in advocating business interests with state and local government agencies
Our background collectively includes nearly five decades of service as elected and appointed state and local government officials:

Our state and local government legal work falls into three areas:
National State Attorneys General Practice:
The 50 state attorneys general are becoming more involved in business issues than ever before. Local, regional and national companies are increasingly faced with subpoenas, investigations or lawsuits initiated by a number of state AGs in a coordinated fashion. With a former Ohio Attorney General and two senior level former assistant attorneys general, our Columbus office is uniquely capable of representing your company's or industry's interests before the Ohio Attorney General or any of the other 49 state attorneys general.
State and Local Government Administrative Law:
An individual business can have a number of different regulatory issues with a long list of government agencies both state and local. We can represent your company before local or state agencies and officials, including county commissioners, mayors, city councils, licensing boards, election commissions and Ohio state government executive agencies, from issues ranging from licensing, investigations, agency rule-making and permits to enter new lines of business.
Government Relations:
We are highly experienced in promoting company's or industry's interests before government agencies. We can represent your firm through traditional lobbying in the legislature or before state or local governmental agencies, as well as assisting you with the drafting, passage or defeat of laws and regulations that could impact your business.
