Turning Policy Challenges into Opportunities for Lasting Impact

Leveraging deep experience in government and on Capitol Hill, our bipartisan team guides clients to address challenges with the government and achieve key policy goals.

We combine legal acumen with strategic insight to deliver solutions for clients facing scrutiny or advancing a policy agenda.

Your Strategic Partner in Washington, D.C. and Beyond

Business challenges often intersect with public policy, requiring a strategy that addresses not just legal risks, but the full spectrum of policy and advocacy options. Our team is uniquely positioned as a full-service firm, integrating traditional legal services with policy analysis and advocacy. 

Our lawyers have served in every branch of government, including key positions in the Senate, House of Representatives, White House, DOL, EEOC, DOJ and DHS. We translate what’s happening in Washington, D.C., into clear, actionable strategies that support clients at the federal and state level. At Sheppard, we draw upon the experience of more than 60 lawyers who have served in government agencies.

We bring clarity to the fog of government by advising clients and anticipating legislative and regulatory developments. Importantly, we help clients navigate these developments by offering policy analysis, legislative drafting and strategic advocacy. Drawing on our deep understanding of government and industry, we help clients engage with key stakeholders and decision-makers to achieve their goals.
