| Public Policy and Strategy |
Business today increasingly faces the challenge of limiting reputational as well as legal exposure, and major companies at home and abroad are seeking seasoned counsel capable of providing strategic advice that integrates legal, public policy, political and even media considerations.
WilmerHale has long been recognized for its expertise in providing strategic, multidimensional advice that addresses the public policy, political and media aspects of our clients' legal challenges.
The public policy and strategy practice consolidates the extensive work that the firm's lawyers do across the public policy landscape—providing broad-gauged advice to companies or industries on how to manage public policy risk, crafting legislative or regulatory solutions to complex problems, providing strategic support for proposed business transactions or initiatives, helping to manage crises, responding to congressional investigations, and counseling clients on multi-state challenges and opportunities.
Among the members of our practice are more than 100 lawyers with bipartisan government experience in the United States and Europe, including several whose assignments have involved extensive responsibilities in Asia. Our team includes former senior US government officials who have served in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in the Department of Justice, Treasury Department, Defense Department, Labor Department, SEC, FBI, CIA, Department of the Navy, and the Office of the US Trade Representative.
