ABOUT OUR FIRM

mn state capitol front
Legislative bodies, regulators and individuals charged with establishing public policy continually debate ideas without clearly understanding the intended and unintended consequences of their actions. Frequently, policy makers do not understand the implications of their actions on particular industries. Most policy makers only see industry from a "consumer" perspective and do not comprehend the level of local, state and federal regulation along with the general operational requirements placed upon business.

Cook Hill Girard Associates can help you to expand your presence and assist in your legislative, regulatory, and coalition efforts. Cook Hill Girard Associates is committed to helping business interests achieve balanced public policy results.

By working with our firm you can be confident the individuals working on your team have the background and experience necessary to advance your agenda. Members of our firm have access to key policy makers, are able to anticipate emerging issues, and have the ability to accurately express your public policy concerns.
