STUART GOODMAN

We believe that legislation, government decisions and administrative regulations can be successfully managed to prevent or otherwise mitigate the inadvertent or intentional governmental interference in the private sector or within other jurisdictions.By proactively contributing to the development of public policy decisions, we strategically position our clients to help guide the debate, as opposed to reacting to the situation after all critical evaluations have been made.The key to our ability to establish a proactive government relations and public affairs strategy is to provide three separate, but simultaneous approaches to minimizing, if not eliminating, the adverse impacts of public policy decisions. We execute this strategy through the firm's ability to provide professional presence, influence and projection.
