PSW offers a fully integrated approach to problem solving and project management by providing not only government relations work but also strategic business planning and communications advice. Our government relations practice is broad based and includes lobbying in the areas of federal tax policy, health care, international trade, appropriations, energy, telecommunications, transportation, education, and the environment. With our expertise in these areas and our extensive network of contacts on both sides of the aisle, PSW is able to give clients a substantial head start in making their case to policymakers.

Because each client’s needs are unique, we understand that boilerplate solutions to today’s complex public policy problems simply do not work. PSW’s mission is to help our clients assess their strengths and weaknesses, and develop a game plan taking these factors into account. With each partner bringing distinct expertise to the task, the PSW team then works with the client to execute the game plan.

Our integrated approach includes:

Planning
We help each client develop a unique federal policy agenda and a strategic plan of action with clearly defined goals.

Advocacy
We help our clients play an active role in the decision-making process by developing effective political and policy arguments and communicating with key decision makers in Congress and Executive Branch agencies.

Communications
We provide strategic public relations advice and help clients develop effective media outreach plans to achieve their communications and policy goals.

Preparedness
Far beyond simply monitoring federal legislation, we ensure that our clients anticipate legislative and regulatory activity and are ready when challenges and opportunities arise.
