Governmental Affairs and Public Advocacy

Major health care organizations, financial institutions, utilities, manufacturers, and many more national and international companies and organizations look to Krieg DeVault as their advocate in federal, state, and local government policy-making. Our government affairs professionals have leadership experience at the federal and state levels of government, and several have held important statewide political campaign positions. Just as we understand how government works at the highest executive and legislative levels, our access to decision-makers enhances our ability to achieve business solutions for our clients, either through convincing arguments that change administrative policy, or effective advocacy for their views. We also are effective advocates for our clients in the proceedings of state agencies, boards and commissions, and local government bodies, and work to secure legislative and regulatory remedies at the federal level.
