Government Affairs and Public Policy

As the current administration aims to restructure major parts of the U.S. government, widespread impacts are likely for almost every public entity and business in the country. With the future of healthcare, transportation, financial regulation, education, federal spending, and tax policies in question, great uncertainty—and potential upheaval in virtually every sector—is looming.

Akerman is ideally positioned to represent our clients' business interests amid changing political times. With years of government service, both in the House and Senate and in federal agencies, and decades of experience in private practice, members of our federal Government Affairs and Public Policy Practice Group are capable of handling our clients' most important legislative, public funding, and regulatory issues. Our bipartisan team successfully combines an insider's perspective with legal know-how to create highly customized strategies to achieve each client's unique public policy objectives.

Beyond Washington, D.C., our team includes former state legislators, local officials, agency division directors, and corporate executives who guide businesses through state and local policy matters in major U.S. markets, including Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas.
