Recognizing the inherent influence of government on industry, we deliver comprehensive strategies that encompass the combined capabilities of a full-service law firm and governmental consulting firm. Whether advising on remedies through law or advocating for initiatives to change it, our bipartisan team of attorneys and professionals can help companies achieve their objectives despite today's challenging climate.
By utilizing our political, legislative, and strategic assets, we work with our clients to develop an advocacy strategy that ensures their business is well-positioned with Congress, the Administration, the federal agencies and leaders in the political theatre. Our clients benefit from the insights and relationships developed through years of experience working with state and federal governments and in the private sector. Our team includes former senior staff on Capitol Hill, a former secretary of administration in a Virginia’s governor’s cabinet; a former attorney general and a former president of a national association. Team members have been recognized by The Hill as among the top 50 lobbyists in Washington, DC and by Virginia Businessas among the “Legal Elite” for Legislative/Regulatory services.
The Keelen Group has extensive experience partnering with clients to develop tactical plans that may include briefings with key decision-makers, shaping public policy or managing public perception. We have spearheaded advocacy campaigns on issues related to tobacco, education, healthcare, transportation, energy, and telecommunications. We also have succeeded in appropriations, grant, and regulatory work.
