Areas of Practice
Advocacy
The art of lobbying is about far more than presenting the facts to Washington’s decision makers. It is ultimately about a keen understanding of politics and process, and long term relationships built on trust and judgement.
Political Risk Management
The biggest unforeseen risk to business is government policies. Foreknowledge of what is coming next gives businesses the edge in mitigating risk and creating opportunities.
Coalition Management
Mike has been a leader of major coalition efforts including GSE reform (FM watch), product liability, CAFE, bankruptcy reform, and health interests in the tobacco wars.
