Increasingly, clients need help getting through the legislative and administrative maze of state and federal government. Sheehan Phinney has a history of involvement in government and representing clients before state and federal executive, legislative, and administrative agencies. Along with our affiliate, Sheehan Phinney Capitol Group, which provides legislative representation on a daily basis in the halls of New Hampshire's State House and before administrative agencies, the firm's attorneys help clients draft proposals for presentation to the legislature, appear with clients in support or opposition to legislation, and work for passage of proposals important to them.
The firm's Government Relations Practice Group monitors legislation and reports to clients about events in Concord, alerting them to key hearings, proposed amendments and other legislative developments. Drawing upon our understanding of our clients' businesses and interests, we help develop and explain to legislators the clients' perspectives regarding the real world effects of proposed laws.
In addition to legislative representation, the firm's attorneys appear regularly before administrative agencies which are considering rules affecting clients, or at quasi-judicial hearings held by the agencies responsible for enforcing those rules. Clients also benefit from the experience that many of our attorneys have both working in and before governmental agencies and departments. Our valuable insight into their operations of such governmental agencies and departments helps us represent clients more effectively because the regulators know our attorneys.
When federal issues arise our attorneys also have working relationships with the state's Congressional delegation, and can help clients resolve such matters or present their opinions in Washington.
For effective representation before the New Hampshire legislature, executive or administrative agencies or officials, or for help with federal matters in Washington, we invite you to contact members of the Sheehan Phinney Government Relations Group or the Sheehan Phinney Capitol Group. |
