PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Public affairs shapes the political environment where policy decisions get made. At Gallatin, our job is to understand your objectives and design an original strategy with specific tactics to achieve it. We surround policy makers with relevant information and credible voices to produce specific outcomes.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

Government relations is an essential tool when a complete public affairs campaign isn’t needed.

At Gallatin, our lobbyists represent your interests directly with policy makers to monitor, support or oppose legislation or regulations. In addition to professionally navigating the halls of government, our team works with other lobbyists to eliminate opposition and build support for specific policy proposals.
