We provide guidance, representation, and support to various sectors, communities, and industries to achieve comprehensive, workable solutions in all governmental matters facing organizations.
Increased Efficiency
Interfacing with state government is complex, arduous, and time-consuming. Organizations must focus on their operations and have limited capacity to navigate government, its sometimes-archaic process, and cumbersome network of rules and regulations. At The Roffe Group of Robinson+Cole, we offer a clear roadmap for achieving success efficiently and effectively so that organizations can concentrate on what they do best. Whether it's providing services to individuals, manufacturing, producing energy for homes and businesses, or caring for patients, our goal is to provide and exceed the government relations services needed by each of our clients so that they may focus on their core mission.
Enhanced Experience
The Roffe Group of Robinson+Cole is unique among government relations firms given its staff’s extraordinary budget and fiscal experience. Our staff has spent years analyzing, drafting, negotiating, and implementing the New York State budget, from the appropriation of funds to the contractual approvals that make those dollars flow to recipients, as well as how revenue proposals are altered and replaced in the financial plan.
Budget issues often dominate government relations work. It is never more prevalent than in tough financial times when greater vigilance is necessary to ward off additional costs of doing business or to combat possible reductions to important funding support. Whether it is an individual case or forming coalitions and strategies to achieve broader industry group success, we are particularly well positioned to promote our clients’ interests.
