(AUSTIN) February 11, 2021 – Locke Lord has once again been named the No. 1 Texas law firm lobby practice according to Capitol Inside’s biennial Texas Lobby Power Rankings, a position the Firm has held since 2004. Robert Miller, Chair of the Firm’s Texas Public Law Section and Co-Chair of its Public Law and Policy Practice Group, has been ranked the No. 3 top lobbyist in the state, and two Locke Lord Public Policy Advisors are also included in the Power Rankings.

Capitol Inside, a closely followed Texas political and governmental affairs website based in Austin, said there is “a case for Miller as the most successful lobbyist in the Lone Star State,” noting his high-profile connections as the leader of “the best all-round lobby practice for a law firm in the Texas Capital City.”

“I am proud that Locke Lord’s Texas Public Law practice has remained consistently first-rate, even as each year brings new challenges to the landscape in which we work,” Miller said. “Our deep and unwavering dedication to supporting our clients and each other sets us apart, and we look forward to achieving many more positive outcomes together in this year’s legislative session and beyond.”
