Governmental Affairs and Public Advocacy

As one of the state’s preeminent governmental affairs practice groups, our bipartisan team possesses decades of experience at the state, local and federal government levels. We provide an array of services including advocacy, defense and monitoring government actions. The professionals that compose our practice group include former gubernatorial and legislative staffers, agency executives, political party leaders, and state and local board appointees. Working on behalf of multinational corporations, major healthcare organizations, trade associations, financial institutions, and other entities, we utilize our experience and expertise across a wide array of issue areas to ensure a successful outcome for our clientele. Our unique team approach ensures that our clients’ needs are being met with effective representation.

Public and Municipal Finance

Our municipal finance team uses a unique combination of governmental experience, historical knowledge of state and local issuers, and practical but creative tax advice to help governmental entities, nonprofit organizations, hospitals, educational institutions, and private sector clients meet their tax-exempt financing needs. As municipal governments face new challenges like privatization, as well as traditional concerns involving procurement, financing, and economic development, Krieg DeVault’s experience is invaluable to both public and private sector clients.
