Government + Regulatory

Our firm provides a full array of legislative, regulatory, and legal services to help clients navigate the complexities of government oversight. We have deep experience representing clients in heavily regulated industries, such as telecommunications, health care, insurance, and energy, offering guidance on compliance, reporting, litigation, and administrative appeals around regulatory enforcement actions. We also are seasoned and effective advocates before Congress, many federal agencies, and many state legislatures and agencies, including states in the Southeastern U.S., Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Our work advising clients on government matters is aided by the skilled professionals at Troutman Strategies, the firm’s government relations subsidiary.
