Orr & Reno’s Lobbying & Government Relations Team possesses decades of state government experience and acumen to elevate our clients’ voices at the state house. Whether drafting and lobbying for legislation in the New Hampshire House of Representatives and Senate, facilitating meetings with state agency personnel, advocating in the rulemaking process, or assisting clients in state contracting procedures, our attorneys are well versed in the intricacies of state government operations, and in the legislative, rulemaking and other bureaucratic processes that affect our clients.
We provide lobbying and government relations services for companies and individuals in various industries, including charitable gaming, energy, health care, insurance, manufacturing, transportation and utilities. We assist clients in developing strategies and testimony on legislation and rules, testify before legislative committees, monitor legislative hearings, communicate with legislators, and respond to legislators’ and other stakeholders’ questions about proposed and/or pending legislation. We communicate with state officials and agency personnel regarding various regulatory, compliance and contracting issues confronting our clients.
Orr & Reno’s experienced lobbying and government relations attorneys have played pivotal roles in shaping important public policies over the years. We’ve been instrumental in amending state laws ranging from modernizing unemployment compensation statutes to revising rules affecting the automobile and health insurance sectors. We have assisted renewable energy developers in navigating legislative and rulemaking processes that dictate siting requirements, and our lobbying efforts for an interstate natural gas pipeline effort succeeded in defeating 12 anti-pipeline bills in a single legislative session. Our Team has also proven adept at assisting clients with securing approval of state contracts, including some of the state’s largest contracts and those requiring approval by the five-member Executive Council, underscoring our commitment to delivering results that align with our clients’ business goals. Our knowledge and experience in state government processes enable us to strategically advise and effectively guide our clients through the challenging lawmaking, rulemaking and government contracting processes.
