Strategy that moves a bill through Congress and follows it to the agencies that write implementing rules. We built the coalition that carried S. 1020 across two Congresses to enactment in May 2026. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has since used it to give a client's licensed project more time to begin construction.
Tax credits, appropriations, and federal grants that put public capital and financial support behind a client's priorities. We have written multiple winning Department of Energy grant applications, and our work helped win the Inflation Reduction Act's storage tax credit.
Identifying and tracking the dockets that matter, then drafting and filing comments and building support for them through outreach to Congress, the White House, and other stakeholders, at federal agencies and state utility commissions. We follow new state laws into the agencies that carry them out, from Virginia's coalfield set-aside to California's centralized procurement.
Legislative and regulatory monitoring, with regular written reports on what moved, what it means for the client, and what to do next, so a large company hears about a tax, trade, or regulatory change while there is still time to act. We prepare monthly docket and policy reports for a hydropower developer's leadership.
Coalitions of companies and associations, formed and managed. We built a coalition of project developers and asset owners that won first-time funding for a federal hydropower incentive Congress had left empty for nine years.
State legislative and procurement strategy, and direction of the in-state lobbying firms that carry it out. In 2026 alone, we directed the state efforts behind new laws in Virginia and California that create opportunities for clients.
Counsel as an extension of the client's leadership team and help for companies building a corporate affairs function that brings government relations, communications, and sustainability under one plan. We brief one client's Board monthly and briefed another's quarterly. Our Principal has built government affairs functions from scratch at multiple companies.
Advice on political giving, annual and four-year giving plans, and Federal Election Commission compliance. We advised on the formation of a trade association's PAC, and our Principal has managed a PAC.
Advocacy before the European Union and its member states, and direction of lobbyists abroad. We have led government affairs for a storage technology client in the European Union, Spain, Germany, and Canada.

Short takes on federal and state policy and corporate affairs, posted by Luke Rose on LinkedIn.
We represent clients across industries before Congress, the White House, federal agencies, and state capitals on legislation, appropriations, tax policy, and regulation. We also advise executives and Boards. Our record runs from first-time federal funding to new laws in Congress and state legislatures.
Luke Rose, our founder and Principal, has worked in legislative and regulatory advocacy at the state, federal, and international levels for nearly three decades.
Clients get a principal who has sat on their side of the table. He knows what executives need from Washington and when they need it.
He knows how to build the function, too. He has taken government affairs from a blank page to advocacy in Washington, Canada, and the European Union and its member countries, and has led a company's sustainability work.
He began on Capitol Hill as Legislative Director and Press Secretary to two members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
