Butler Snow LLP

Butler Snow Government Relations Group operates directly in the legislative arena coordinating and directing lobbying efforts for our clients. The firm's legislative work consists of monitoring for statutory changes on behalf of business clients, drafting and reviewing legislation of interest to clients, preparing arguments on draft legislation, intelligence gathering and providing strategic and political guidance for lobbying efforts. This legislative work requires an intimate understanding of the legislative process, the rules under which both houses operate and the individuals who control the flow of legislation. Often a legislative issue requires such frenetic work inside the Capitol that the project requires a manager for the entire effort, whose scope is broader than the fight of the day and whose perspective is more dispassionate than the emotional setting of the legislative process often allows. This skill is the value that Butler Snow offers to clients in the legislative arena.
