Government Relations - e-Business
The "rules of the road" for e-business are being shaped every day in Washington, D.C., Brussels, and in state capitals around the U.S. McDermott Will & Emery lawyers and legislative professionals are involved on a daily basis in helping to shape these policies and in keeping e-businesses, large and small, abreast of developments that can affect their present and future success, often in powerful ways. Our Government Strategies Practice Group includes a significant number of professionals with prior experience as senior decision-makers in the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. federal government.
Our services range from intensive lobbying and issue monitoring to targeted assistance in discrete areas. When issues of special interest arise, we develop a strategy uniquely tailored to resolve each client's problem. This may involve enactment of legislation or action through administrative means before federal agencies or departments. Our Government Strategies Practice Group allows our clients to be proactive rather than reactive. Thus, we often seek legislative or administrative change on behalf of clients rather than simply reacting to changes proposed by others. On other occasions, our action is defensive in nature, as we work to block action that would be adverse our clients interests. Our extensive experience with high-technology issues enables us to maximize our effectiveness for e-businesses.
