Experience
Our partner Jane Lucas is uniquely situated having held high level positions for both President Trump (Office of White House Counsel, White House Legislative Affairs) and for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).
Former Representative Earl Pomeroy has decades of experience and record of leadership on a full range of domestic and foreign policy issues. Congressman Pomeroy served as a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee and its Trade Subcommittee.
Joining Rep. Pomeroy are numerous other former senior officials from every administration since Ronald Reagan was inaugurated in January 1981, with service in the White House; both houses of Congress; the Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, State, Treasury, Agriculture and Transportation; and a panoply of regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Patent and Trademark Office, and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others.
Alston & Bird’s Legislative & Public Policy attorneys provide a full range of services to help our clients participate in and shape public policy debates before, rather than after, decisions are made; we also provide guidance in how to respond to decisions once they are made. We are among the most visible and respected voices in political Washington on global business strategies, privacy and data security, tax policy and regulation, and telecommunications. We represent clients before Congress, the executive branch and regulatory agencies in Washington, as well as throughout the country at the state and local level. We are frequently consulted by Congress on legislative matters, testify on a wide range of issues and prepare our clients when they are called upon to testify. We work directly with members and staff on Capitol Hill and with senior officials in federal agencies to help craft legislative and regulatory language that harmonizes the needs of our clients with the other relevant stakeholders.
