Approach
nuance
Whether it's moving legislation, responding to an investigation, or simply halting bad legislation from moving forward, HP + P has the team and talent to make things happen.We don't have a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, we listen to our clients, master the details of their issues, and then with our knowledge of public policy and our relationships with decision makers, we craft a targeted strategy. Washington's policies and personalities are particular.
HP + P understands those subtleties and uses that to get things done for our clients.
navigation
HP + P's professionals have worked in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Executive Branch. We know how to navigate Washington, we know the rhythms of the institutions, we know what messages will be effective, and we know what words will fall flat.We have experience in every aspect of the legislative and regulatory arena, from negotiating policy language and securing federal funding to assisting with business development opportunities and monitoring legislation. Effective Washington advocacy is more than just arranging meetings. It's knowing who to see, when to meet, what to say, and which solutions to offer.
Our decades of experience with Congress and the agencies are harnessed to help our clients answer these questions and navigate Washington to get the results they want.
network
We know people. HP + P has long-standing relationships with Members of Congress and their staffs. Our high level contacts span virtually every congressional committee and administrative agency.Beyond decision makers, political players, and their staffs, HP + P has relationships with think tanks, non-profit organizations, and other government relations firms that we put to work for our clients. These groups play an increasingly critical role in defining the debate in Washington. Our relationships with these groups enable us to put our clients' issues in front of a diverse coalition of outside validators, who can assist in shaping the public debate.
