Our team has significant experience representing clients in all facets of Congressional oversight hearings, and in developing and implementing strategies that take into account the increasing role that states are playing in investigations, the different legal and regulatory regimes of each jurisdiction, and the political dynamic and players in the various jurisdictions. We have a comprehensive network of state and local legislative, public relations and grassroots consultants, and legal counsel to provide on-the-ground assistance in these investigations.
