Today’s government and regulatory landscape is varied, fluid, and difficult to navigate, making savvy counsel a must when dealing with any level of government or operating within any regulatory framework, particularly in the post-Chevron era. It is a fact of corporate life that organizations must understand, and comply with or challenge, regulations covering a vast and growing range of topics and must interact with the government on various levels. Cozen O’Connor’s Government and Regulatory Affairs practice helps clients maximize their competitive edge by combining the top-shelf legal advice essential to operational effectiveness with the political perspective and access needed to advance strategic objectives.

Our multidisciplinary team includes lawyers with experience in a wide range of areas — such as administrative law, antitrust, congressional investigations, consumer protection, government contracts, privacy, and unfair and deceptive acts — as well as a wide range of closely regulated industries, so that we are poised to handle any issue that might arise in the government and regulatory space.

Drawing on Cozen O’Connor Public Strategies professionals, our Government and Regulatory Affairs practice also provides legislative and executive branch advocacy, policy analysis, government procurement and funding program assistance, political strategy and crisis management. And Cozen O’Connor was one of the first firms to respond to the rapid growth in prominence, power, and influence of state attorneys general by establishing a practice dedicated to representing clients in AG investigations and litigation, and counselling clients on state AG matters.

We have first-hand experience in the formulation of policy positions, and long-standing professional relationships with key government decision-makers. Our attorneys and government relations professionals have served both in senior government and in-house positions, gaining insider knowledge that provides us with a deep understanding of how government agencies function and an unrivalled ability to represent our clients’ business interests at the local, state and federal levels.

Our ranks include skilled litigators who have argued landmark cases and defended companies facing bet-the-company threats. Should litigation, an investigation, or an enforcement action arise, we stand ready to provide zealous and strategic defense.

We offer forward-looking representation that synthesizes the myriad perspectives required for business to thrive in the government and regulatory arena, while maintaining the practical focus for which Cozen O’Connor is known. Simply put, our Government and Regulatory Affairs team has both the breadth of subject matter knowledge and the depth of boots-on-the-ground experience that are equally essential to success in today’s business environment.
