Policy Analysis
Regulation
When it comes to policymaking in Washington, regulations change from one administration to the next, and their impacts can make or break a business enterprise. CGCN’s team of regulatory experts helps clients sift through the bureaucratese that can obscure what agency rules and mandates really mean—providing knowledge that directly impacts to a company’s regulatory compliance and financial performance.
Legislation
Regardless of whether Congress is divided or under single-party control, legislation can progress quickly. Knowing not only who’s drafting it, but why they’re drafting it, and what legislative text means is essential for companies from just about any industry. CGCN’s policy experts help clients understand legislative process, the substance of legislation, and how it affects their business operations.
The Courts
Along with regulation and legislation, the courts can determine the ultimate shape and substance of regulations and legislation, including how federal agencies implement them and whether they stand or fall. Our experts help clients understand when and how litigation happens, what it means for regulatory compliance, enforcement, and their bottom line when it does.
