Political Intelligence, Threat Analysis, and Risk Management
Understanding Washington is critical for all companies—foreign, domestic, large, or small. Whether a business wants to innovate, identify and expand into markets abroad, or disrupt heavily regulated sectors of the economy—the complexities and nuances of DC require skilled advocates. There are hundreds of Congressional offices and committees; dozens of regulatory agencies; and scores of relevant pressure groups and think tanks. Not every organization has the time or resources to engage in traditional lobbying on a regular basis. But all organizations need to answer critical questions to the satisfaction of their shareholders and investors:
What motivates policymakers and how can political activities impact legislation and regulation?
How do different Congressional committees operate and how do federal agencies interact with Congress?
What opportunities or challenges could force a business to change course?
Public Policy
From autonomous vehicles and intellectual property to taxes and energy to financial services and national security, the Klein/Johnson Group has developed the broad expertise needed to navigate complex policy issues across sectors.
