BD Through Governmental Affairs

For over a quarter-century I have been establishing key relationships with state, county, and municipal officials, high-level agency department heads, regulators, and legislators in New Jersey. Over that time I have developed a vast understanding of the politics that shape public policy. I provide my clients with a government relations advocacy role and offer them access to the people, the practices, and the protocols that help move projects closer to completion while controlling costs. With a keen understanding of the regulatory compliance process and the people who implement it, I help my clients navigate public bureaucracies in order to pursue their specific interests with the right decision-makers. This creates opportunities while attempting to solve potential problems. I negotiate on their behalf and establish productive partnerships based on each client's unique issues and ensure those interests are conveyed when decisions are being made; provide a detailed understanding of the decision-making process which includes insight and access to the political alliances, party structures, and community organizations that directly impact the decision making process; and assist in creating strategies that will sustain the momentum necessary to generate results and present the information needed to make the proper determinations by the government agencies/commissions and local public entities involved with my clients' projects.
