PRACTICE AREA

Government & Regulatory

Counsel for businesses in regulated industries and for the people behind them — when the problem runs through an agency, a legislature, or a public investigation.

Regulated Industries

We advise companies operating where the state sets the rules: licensing, permits, agency rulemaking, compliance programs, and the inquiries, audits and enforcement actions that follow. Cannabis, gaming, healthcare, alcohol, energy, transportation and government contracting all carry their own regulators and their own risks.

Agency Inquiries & Enforcement

When a regulator calls, the first response shapes everything after it. We manage document requests, interviews, subpoenas and settlement negotiations with state and federal agencies, and coordinate with our investigations and white collar defense teams when exposure goes beyond civil.

The Political Side of Investigations

Investigations involving public officials, campaigns, lobbying, or political donors rarely stay inside a courtroom. We handle the legal matter while accounting for the press, the legislature and the public — including Missouri Ethics Commission matters, campaign finance questions and 501(c)(4) disclosure issues.

Government Relations

Our legal work often sits next to government relations and political consulting. For lobbying and public affairs, we work alongside strategiclobby.com.
