What We Do:
Government Relations
Legislative decisions that impact your organization or industry should not move forward through the political process without your input. Additionally, the halls of government are often a mystery to businesses and organizations that find themselves face to face with government-related challenges. In today’s competitive market, organizations are turning to all three branches of government to create, administer and interpret laws and regulations in order to foster growth, meet their policy and fiscal goals, and generally remain vibrant in their sector.
When it comes to successful Government Relations services, knowledge, experience and access are the three critical factors in effective representation. At L. A. & Associates PR we possess all these qualities.
We are well versed with the way government works, day in and day out. We offer unmatched access to the top decision-makers throughout the State of Florida and our relationships with key officials make our team exceptionally able to reach members of the city and state governments.
We combine our experience with our understanding of the complexities of public policy, the legislative process, as well as knowledge of alliance building to offer a first-rate representation of our client interests.
Our Government Relations Services include:
- Advocacy and Issue Management: Working with you we will design a government relations plan to successfully represent your interests before the Legislative and Executive branches of government. Whether its supporting or opposing legislation or proposed regulations by a state agency, or pursuing funding opportunities in the state budget, we have the expertise to help you reach your government goals.
- Legislative Tracking and Monitoring: During each legislative session, hundreds of individual bills are introduced in the Florida legislature. State agencies publish thousands of proposed regulations. We monitor any of these bills that might affect you to ensure that your interests are protected.

Our years of legislative and government expertise has allowed us to build relationships with many other organizations and the skill to turn these relationships into coalitions when appropriate.
