 As part of our comprehensive government relations practice, Lee Group Consulting has administrative support, consultants and legislative specialists who represent client interests at the Federal, State and local government level. This includes government agencies across the Southeast.

 

  

“We offer a select client base an unparalleled combination of advocacy skills, strategic planning, bipartisan experience and a strong understanding of Georgia’s political history and landscape...”

 

This experienced team assists clients in developing and pursuing a legislative strategy that best suits their company or organization's needs. In addition, we promote the interest of clients by communicating and dealing with legislators, legislative aids, and governmental officials. This includes monitoring potential and pending legislation in the General Assembly and Congress which may be of interest to clients.

 

 

Our work entails legislative monitoring and in-depth lobbying efforts, which includes speaking at committee meetings and public hearings on behalf of clients and working with individual legislators on specific issues. Our government relations team is experienced in representing witnesses that testify before committees, preparing legislation and amendments, and analyzing the impact of legislation. We also bring considerable knowledge of each state's appropriations process and how its budgetary provisions and language amendments can affect a client's business interests.

During each state's legislative session, we collaborate with our clients to monitor legislation. We attend relevant committee meetings and maintain vigilant contact with the leadership, committee chairs and key staff to identify legislation that may be helpful—or adverse—to our position. We partner with our clients to implement a relevant agenda that best addresses their interests, then find legislative sponsors and liaison with the Governor's office and leadership to advocate passage of the legislation.

 

When the legislature is not in session, we team with our clients to build their relationships with members of the legislature, the Governor's office and other key departments and statewide office holders. We monitor study committees to build the support for—or against—legislative policies. In addition, we work with clients to pursue contracts with state agencies through the traditional procurement process as well as through innovative public-private partnerships.
