Sullivan & LeShane has been a valued partner of ours for many years. They have the relationships and know-how to navigate complex legislative issues and deliver results on behalf of their client. With decades of experience, their entire team is committed to truly understanding the issues that matter to us most and working collaboratively to educate legislators and develop public policy solutions.

It has been a great relationship, and we have had many "wins" that have helped advance SHI strategically within the State.
