Advocacy

There are numerous legislative and regulatory proposals that pose challenges to doing business efficiently and effectively in the State of California today. Entities interested in ameliorating negative effects or enhancing the positive impact of California's public policy depend on the professionals at Griffin & Associates.

The primary goal of Griffin & Associates is successful resolution on the clients' behalf. An integral element in our relationship with each of our clients is strategic planning designed to serve both short and long term government relations needs. Members of the firm and our consultants have expertise in various issue areas and employ effective strategies to assist in accomplishing client goals.

Access - A lobbyist's stock in trade is the ability to gain access to essential players. Relationships form the foundation for success. Griffin & Associates will create the collaborative atmosphere necessary to foster these relationships.

Reputation - It is essential that the information being conveyed on your behalf not only be credible on its face, but that the messenger be respected as well. Griffin & Associates enjoys an exceptional reputation among legislators on both sides of the aisle. If the audience doesn't trust the messenger, the message will be lost.

Communication - Experience has proven that the client and lobbyist working closely together formulate the best political strategies. This approach will ensure that your concerns and policies are clearly understood and that written materials are credible in the political context in which they must be negotiated and advanced. Griffin & Associates will assist in making you a more effective participant in the political arena.

Research - Clients are advised of emerging legislative and regulatory activities at the earliest possible stage. We understand that time is of the essence when clients need to make critical decisions about proposals that may impact their businesses or organizations.

Information - Credible information is critical to educate legislators, their staff and state officials relative to each client's unique issue or concern. Our advocates are known for raising the profiles of the firm's clients in the State Capitol. Griffin & Associates serves as a resource where institutional memory no longer exists due to the implementation of term limits. Clients will be assisted in the development of written fact sheets and other materials to represent positions on specific legislative or regulatory issues.
