Government Relations

Guiding your success.

Our advocacy services are designed to navigate you through the complex federal, state and local government and regulatory environments to make sure that your needs are heard, your choices are informed and obstacles to your success are assessed and removed.

Our government relations services are three-fold: we monitor the legislative and regulatory bodies to keep current and agile on the issues that affect your organization, we communicate your message to the key policymakers who can help meet your needs and we actively negotiate until a positive outcome is reached.

Cosgrove Public Affairs works diligently with our clients in the public, private and non-profit sectors to secure government funding, contracts, permits and to shape legislation and regulations in many areas including energy, land use, environmental protection, real estate development, engineering, heath care, transportation and telecommunications.

EXPERTISE
