Legislative

Success in our national economy often requires effective participation in public policy debates. Drawing from experience our partners have had as senior counsel to key House and Senate leaders, HWG offers clients knowledgeable strategy and committed implementation for advancing their positions before lawmakers. We can help to influence public policy, whether the goal is legislation, congressional oversight of agency decision-making, or simply educating policymakers on critical issues facing your company.

Our lawyers have counseled Members of Congress responsible for communications and technology policy from both national Parties, and therefore can tailor a bipartisan strategy to achieve your objectives. Our clients include today’s leading technology companies, so we appreciate the rapid pace in which the industry operates and the complex coalitions among lawmakers on a broad range of technology issues.
